# From 30.000 feet

**netconvert** imports digital road networks from different sources and
generates road networks that can be used by other tools from the
package.

- **Purpose:** Road networks import and conversion
- **System:** portable (Linux/Windows is tested); runs on command line
- **Input (mandatory):** Definition of a road network
- **Output:** A generated SUMO-road network; optionally also other
outputs
- **Programming Language:** C++

# Usage Description

netconvert is a command line application. It
assumes at least one parameter - the combination of the name of the file
type to import as parameter name and the name of the file to import as
parameter value. So, for importing a network from OpenStreetMap one
could simply write:

```
netconvert --osm my_osm_net.xml
```

and for importing a VISUM-network:

```
netconvert --visum my_visum_net.net
```

In both cases, as no output name is given, the SUMO network generated
from the imported data is written into the file "net.net.xml". To write
the network into a different file, use the option **-o** {{DT_FILE}}. If you want to save
the imported VISUM-network into a file named "my_sumo_net.net.xml",
write:

```
netconvert --visum my_visum_net.net -o my_sumo_net.net.xml
```

Many further parameter steer how the network is imported and how the
resulting SUMO-network is generated.

# Supported Network Formats

## Import

netconvert is able to import road networks from
the following formats:

- ["SUMO plain" XML
  descriptions](Networks/PlainXML.md)
  (\*.edg.xml, \*.nod.xml, \*.con.xml, \*.tll.xml)
- [OpenStreetMap](OpenStreetMap_file.md) (\*.osm.xml),
  including shapes (see [OpenStreetMap
  import](Networks/Import/OpenStreetMap.md))
- [VISUM](Networks/Import/VISUM.md), including shapes and
  demands
- [Vissim](Networks/Import/Vissim.md), including demands
- [OpenDRIVE](Networks/Import/OpenDRIVE.md)
- [MATsim](Networks/Import/MATsim.md)
- [SUMO](Networks/Import/SUMO_Road_Networks.md) (\*.net.xml)
- [Shapefiles](Networks/Import/ArcView.md) (.shp, .shx, .dbf),
  e.g. ArcView and newer Tiger networks
- [Robocup Rescue League](Networks/Import/RoboCup.md),
  including shapes
- [a DLR internal variant of Navteq's
  GDF](Networks/Import/DlrNavteq.md) (Elmar format)

### Merging networks
- any input files may be combined
- "plain XML" files will be applied last and can be used to patch/update previously loaded elements
- multiple sumo networks (.net.xml) may be merged by giving a list of files: **--sumo-net-file FILE1,FILE2**. The offsets will be handled automatically for geo-referenced network data
- To merge nodes and ids which occupy the same location but have different ids, the the options **--junctions.join-same --edges.join** can be set

## Export

netconvert is able to export road networks in
the following formats:

- [SUMO](Networks/Export.md#sumo) (\*.net.xml)
- ["SUMO native" XML descriptions](Networks/Export.md#plain)
  (\*.edg.xml, \*.nod.xml, \*.con.xml, \*.tll.xml)
- [OpenDRIVE](Networks/Export.md#opendrive)
- [MATsim](Networks/Export.md#matsim)
- [a DLR internal variant of Navteq's
  GDF](Networks/Export.md#dlrnavteq) (Elmar format)
- [a basic network view developed in the Amitran
  project](Networks/Export.md#amitran)

Using python tools, conversion of .net.xml files into further formats is supported:

- [KML](Tools/Net.md#net2kmlpy)
- [GeoJSON](Tools/Net.md#net2geojsonpy)

# Further supported Data Formats

## Import

- [Public transport
  stops](Simulation/Public_Transport.md#bus_stops). The main
  use of importing stop data is to update/add
  [access](Simulation/Public_Transport.md#access_lanes)
  information or filter stops when reducing the network size.
- [Public transport
  lines](Tutorials/PT_from_OpenStreetMap.md#initial_network_and_public_transit_information_extraction): Automatically updated when reducing network extent.
- [Shape definitions](Simulation/Shapes.md) to be embedded in network output that supports this ([OpenDRIVE](Networks/Import/OpenDRIVE.md))
- [Elevation Data files](Networks/Elevation.md#including_elevation_data_in_a_network)

## Export

The following list ouf output is explained in more detail at
[Networks/Further_Outputs](Networks/Further_Outputs.md)

- [Public transport
  stops](Simulation/Public_Transport.md#bus_stops). Currently,
  this can only be imported from
  [OSM](Tutorials/PT_from_OpenStreetMap.md#initial_network_and_public_transit_information_extraction)
- [Public transport
  lines](Tutorials/PT_from_OpenStreetMap.md#initial_network_and_public_transit_information_extraction)
- Information on joined junctions
- Street Signs (as POIs)
- Street Names (embedded within the *.net.xml* output
- [Parking Areas](Simulation/ParkingArea.md) (currently, only
  road-side parking can be imported from OSM)
- Railway topology output: A file for analyzing the topology of
  railway networks in regard to bi-directional track usage

# Lefthand Networks

By default, netconvert assumes networks to follow right-hand traffic
rules. When importing importing/building a network for a jurisdiction
wiht left-hand traffic, the option **--lefthand** must be set.

Note, that this also influences geometries if the edges which make up a
two-directional road are defined using the road-center-line as geometry.
In right-hand networks the lane shapes will be placed to the right of
the center line whereas in left-hand networks they will be placed to the
left. This means that for some edges, the same input geometries can be
used to build right-hand as well as left-hand networks. However, if the
edge geometries are defined using the center-line of the directional
edge (attribute \{\{XML|1=spreadType="center"/\>) then the geometries are
only useable for a specific type of jurisdiction (networks with the
wrong setting for **--lefthand** will look strange).

# Warnings during Import

Several types of warnings and errors with different levels of severity
may be issued during network building.
