OSMExtractor

The extractor for parsing raw map data from OpenStreetMap.

Usage

  • Select your interested area in OpenStreetMap.
  • Download the raw map data (Overpass API suggested) which is actually in XML-format.
  • Compile the project or directly run the binary executable file which is located in bin\Release\.

PS:I've included a tiny sample map crawled from OSM which is in the name of sample.xml in bin\Release\. Have a try :)

Enviornment

  • Language: C#
  • IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit with SP1

The code is tested to be runnable in Aug 5th, 2017.

Parsed Data format

nodeOSM.txt

Format: [NodeID]\t[latitude]\t[longitude]

One node/vertex per line with increasing (continuous) ids. E.g.,

0   41.1689665  -8.6444747
1   41.1658735  -8.6444774
2   41.1670798  -8.6424338
3   41.1673856  -8.642543
4   41.1669776  -8.6417132
5   41.1676312  -8.6424866
...
1000   41.1575375  -8.6443184

, which records 1,000 vertices in the road network.

edgeOSM.txt

Format: [EdgeId]\t[StartNodeId]\t[EndNodeId]\t[k]\t[lat1]\t[lon1]\t[lat2]\t[lon2]...\t[latk]\t[lonk]

One edge (StartNode -> EndNode) per line with increasing (continuous) ids. And k refers to the number of points of a polyline representing the shape of the road (including the start and the end node). I.e., (lat1, lon1) is just the coordinate of StartNode, and (latk, lonk) is the coordinate of EndNode.

E.g.,

0   0   1326    5   41.1689665  -8.6444747  41.1688112  -8.6443785  41.1685579  -8.6440804  41.1683059  -8.6438068  41.1680768  -8.6437482
1   4   5   2   41.1669776  -8.6417132  41.1676312  -8.6424866
...
1500    1499    1494    2   41.1849529  -8.6317477  41.185196   -8.6318118

, which records 1,500 edges in the road network. Edge 0 represents an edge from node 0 to node 1326 with 5 points representing the shape of the road as a polyline. And edge 1 represents an edge from node 4 to 5 with 2 points representing the shape, which means the shape of this road is a straight line segment (i.e., the first point(41.1669776, -8.6417132) is just the coordinate of node 4 and the second point (41.1676312, -8.6424866) is just the coordinate of node 5).

wayType

Format: EdgeId\tWayTypeName\tWayTypeId

One edge per line with increasing (continous) ids. The WayTypeName also includes the "_link" name, e.g., motorway_link. The wayTypeId of those "_link" way is identical to their corresponding non-"_link" way's wayTypeId, e.g., the wayTypeId of motorway_link is identical to the one of motorway, i.e., 7.

E.g.

0   motorway_link   7
1   motorway    7
2   motorway    7
3   trunk_link  6
4   residential 1
5   residential 1
...
1500    tertiary    3

, which records the corresponding way types of 1,500 edges.

The relations between wayTypeName and wayTypeId are shown as follows. They range from the most (7) to least (0) important. For more detail, please refer to the official document in wiki. Note that there exist many other types of roads in OSM, while I only selected those types which are in major and can be passed by vehicles.

7: motorway
6: trunk
5: primary
4: secondary
3: tertiary
2: unclassified
1: residenotial

7: motorway_link
6: trunk_link
5: primary_link
4: secondary_link
3: tertiary_link
