Hello,
I'm looking for the fastest way that I could add some artificial nodes between available nodes (maybe at certain interval) in OSM map file.
actually "osmosis-srtm-plugin" use these nodes and update the OSM map file with elevation data. I want to increase the resolution of elevation data by adding some artificial nodes between available nodes in the OSM map file.
are there any tools to do that?

With Best Regards,
Mohsen

by the way, I want to use this updated OSM map file offline, in a traffic simulation software.

It would help if you could explain what you're actually doing in a bit more detail, and also describe what you've tried already.

Thanks for your participation @someoneelse.
There are many ways to create a network in traffic simulation software, but importing the OSM map file of the interested area is more convenient. Also, I want to see the effect of elevation in my simulation model. so, now I'm looking for the fastest way that I could add some artificial nodes into edges or links (i.e. those links that are related to roads or highways), in order to increase the resolution of the elevation data that produced by "osmosis-srtm-plugin".

So you're actually looking to add extra nodes to existing ways in your download (and presumably only some existing ways, perhaps corresponding with certain highway types)?

I'm not aware of anything that already does that, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. On the other hand of course it doesn't sound that hard to write some code yourself to do that.

Does it matter that your new nodes are "between other nodes" (i.e. along a long straight way already in OSM) or can they just fill in the areas where there are no nodes to allow you to add elevations to them to process later?

If it's the latter, I'd just programmatically create a regular grid of nodes in an external .osm file a certain difference apart and merge that with the existing .osm data that you have. I'd then combine the resulting files with osmosis or similar.

Well, artificial nodes must be added into edges or links that are related to roads or highways. it doesn't matter how it should be added, just every edge or link should have enough number of artificial nodes to be ensured that elevation data are usefulness in the simulated network.
I can do this manually in JOSM, but this is not applicable for large networks.
To view the sample, see attached files that are manually created. (Before | After)

If you have a chance to put your data in Postgis, then this function may help:

I've written a python script that uses the same underlying of what you've shared.
I will share the script here, hope to be helpful.

As I mentioned above, I was looking for a tool that could add some artificial nodes into the ways of the OSM map file. my goal was to increase the resolution of the elevation data that was later added with the "Osmosis-SRTM-Plugin".

I've written a python script which creates artificial nodes till all segments lengths in the OSM map file become lower than the predefined threshold. then the appropriate patch file will be created to patch the input OSM map file with "Osmosis".

Programming Language:
- Python 3.3+ (tested on python 3.7.3)

Required Packages:
- osmread==0.2
- numpy==1.16.4
- pandas==0.24.2
- shapely==1.6.4.post1
- osgeo==2.3.3
- geopandas==0.5.0

Python Script Repository (OSMEditor):
