Networks/Import

NETCONVERT allows to import road networks from different formats. By now, the following formats are supported:
 * OpenStreetMap databases, see Networks/Import/OpenStreetMap
 * PTV VISUM (a macroscopic traffic simulation package), see Networks/Import/VISUM
 * PTV VISSIM (a microscopic traffic simulation package), see Networks/Import/Vissim
 * OpenDRIVE networks, see Networks/Import/OpenDRIVE
 * MATsim networks, see Networks/Import/MATsim
 * SUMO networks, see Networks/Import/SUMO Road Networks
 * ArcView-data base files, see Importing ArcView networks (shapefiles)
 * Elmar Brockfelds unsplitted and splitted NavTeq-data, see Networks/Import/DlrNavteq
 * RoboCup Rescue League folders, see Networks/Import/RoboCup

In most of these cases, NETCONVERT needs only two parameter: the option named as the source application/format followed by the name of the file to convert and the name of the output file (using the option). In the case, a VISUM network shall be imported, the following code will convert it into a SUMO-network: netconvert --visum=MyVisumNet.inp --output-file=MySUMONet.net.xml

The import can be influenced using further NETCONVERT options.
