Calculate the Haversine Distance in Pandas DataFrame with Ease

When working with geolocation data, sometimes we need to find the distance between two points identified by their latitude and longitude coordinates. One popular method to compute this distance on a sphere, like the Earth, is the Haversine formula. In this guide, we will explore how to calculate the Haversine distance between two sets of geographic coordinates present in a Pandas DataFrame.

The Problem: Calculating Haversine Distance

Imagine you have a DataFrame containing latitude and longitude coordinates representing two locations: a starting point and an ending point. For instance, a typical DataFrame might look like this:

You want to add a new column that represents the Haversine distance between the start and end coordinates for each row. However, you run into an issue when applying the function to the DataFrame.

The Solution: Using apply() with Lambda Functions

To solve this problem, we must modify our approach and use the apply() function combined with a lambda function. This will allow us to operate on the individual rows of the DataFrame, rather than trying to pass entire columns at once.

Step 1: Create Coordinate Columns

First, we'll create two new columns that contain tuples of the coordinates:

Step 2: Define the Haversine Function

Next, we need to define the Haversine function, which can calculate the distance between two points:

Step 3: Apply the Haversine Function

Utilizing the apply() method, we will compute the error-free distance and create a new column for it:

Resulting DataFrame

After executing the above code, your DataFrame will now contain a new column, Haversine_dist, showing the calculated distance between the start lat/long and end lat/long for all rows. The complete DataFrame would look something like this:

This will provide a clear and organized view of all your data along with the calculated distances.

Conclusion

Using the Haversine formula within a Pandas DataFrame simplifies the task of calculating distances between geographic coordinates. By leveraging the apply() function combined with lambda expressions, processing each row independently becomes easy and effective.

Now you can efficiently compute distances in your geographic datasets, enhancing your analysis and insights!
