开源工具自动从地图数据提取高速路网,支持高效复现与验证。
An Open-Source Tool for Reproducible Freeway Network Extraction from OpenStreetMap

- 基于OpenStreetMap设计专用高速路网提取流程,支持路段查询与可视化
- 359.6英里高速路处理平均仅需41秒/英里,效率提升至人工的1/3
- 适合交通仿真研究者,尤其关注可复现性与大规模路网构建
高速公路仿真难以规模化部署,不仅因模型复杂,更因道路网络输入依赖手动、区域特定且难复现。本文提出一个开源工具,从开放街图(OpenStreetMap, OSM)提取高速路网,并转化为适用于下游仿真任务的紧凑、站点参考表示。该流程专为高速交通研究设计,超越现有工具对主干道或通用网络的支持。工具涵盖数据清洗、区域查询、可视化检查、提取结果与OSM对比验证,以及源数据与航拍影像比对。本地前端支持用户定义区域查询、视觉选择端点并审查提取段落。提取逻辑解决高速路数据常见问题:路由编号不一致、互通立交路径模糊、专用车道干扰、边界框查询遗漏、匝道分类不统一等。在两个原型走廊测试中,先提取后验证的方法使分析工作量减少约三分之二。随后在加州橙县359.6英里高速路部署,平均处理与验证耗时约41秒/英里。结果表明,在地图完善区域,OSM数据已足够支持多数高速交通研究。整体上,该工具为高速路网准备提供了更可扩展、可复现的基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Freeway simulation is often difficult to deploy at scale not only because of model formulation, but because preparing road network inputs remains a manual, corridor-specific, and difficult-to-reproduce task. This paper presents an open-source tool that extracts freeway networks from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and converts them into a compact, station-referenced representation suitable for downstream freeway simulation. Unlike existing tools that primarily support arterial or general network conversion tasks, the proposed workflow is designed around the specific requirements of freeway traffic studies. The tool supports not only OSM data cleaning and conversion, but also the broader workflow required in practice: corridor-specific querying, visual inspection of extracted segments, extraction validation against OSM, and source-data validation against aerial imagery. A locally hosted frontend allows users to define corridor-specific queries, select endpoints visually, and inspect extracted segments. The extraction logic is designed to address several recurring challenges in freeway OSM data, including inconsistent route references, ambiguous path selection through interchanges, managed-lane interference, incomplete corridor capture from naive bounding-box queries, and inconsistent ramp classifications. The workflow was first tested on two prototype corridors, where the extract-first-then-validate approach proposed here required roughly one-third the analyst effort of manual ramp encoding from scratch. It was then deployed across 359.6 miles of freeway in Orange County, California, with total processing and validation averaging about 41 seconds per mile. This deployment also suggests that, in a well-mapped region, OSM is sufficiently accurate for many freeway traffic studies. Overall, the tool provides a more scalable and reproducible foundation for freeway network preparation.
