+Notes:
+
+- _osrmIsoDistance_ is the primary function in the above chunk.
+- This function computes areas that are reachable within a given road
+distance from a point and returns the reachable regions as
+polygons. These areas of equal travel distance are called isodistances.
+- Input is a point represented as an sf object (extended
+data.frame-like objects with a simple feature list column) could be
+other classes, e.g., vector of coods, data.frame of lat tand
+long. etc.
+- Arguments to osrmIsodistances used here are breaks and res
+ - breaks: a numeric vector of break values to define isodistance areas, in meters.
+ - res: number of points used to compute isodistances, one side of the
+square grid, the total number of points will be res*res. Increase res to obtain more detailed isodistances.
+- _fill\_holes_ is also used with a threshold of `r threshold` km^2.
+- _st\_intersection_ is also used on sf objects (simple features?)
