Hello there, I am currently working on simulating DSRC vehicular communication on roads in my area. I am using Omnet/Sumo/Veins to perform the simulation. I am really happy with how easy it is to export road data from OSM and plug it into the simulation. Now, I am having trouble setting up the simulation to narrow in on the roads we have specifically tested. I would like to export only the roads we have data for to run in Omnet. It seems like the Overpass API is a good way to go, but I may be off base here. Any other suggestions would be very helpful! If Overpass is the way to go, I have two questions:
I am very new with OSM, so any direction would be very helpful. Thank you so much! asked 02 Aug '17, 23:16  le_sanglier |
One Answer:
The xml option on Overpass-API is what you would expect in a .osm file. If you have locations associated with your testing you could use the around filter with a suitable distance to find the highways of interest. Otherwise you will probably have to resort to a manual process. One way to do it would be to download just the highways in the area of interest using Overpass-API and then pare that data down in JOSM (being careful not to upload damaging deletions). File->Save in JOSM will output the same osm xml. answered 03 Aug '17, 00:06  maxerickson edited 03 Aug '17, 02:24 |
Thanks so much! To be honest, that is what I was afraid of, haha. I was trying that earlier, but the output was rather sloppy. I will just have to get better at it. Thanks again for the response!
