Including Elevation Data in a Network¶
Elevation data can be imported from the following sources
- directly from network input
- from OSM (with some tricks)
-
by applying extra data from supplemental files
- from a shapefile mesh by using the netconvert option --heightmap.shapefiles
- from a greyscale height-map using netconvert option --heightmap.geotiff.
-
from edg.xml files as part of the shape specification
-
by shifting geometry points and junctions along the z-axis in netedit move mode.
- by generating an abstract network with z-level noise using netgenerate option --perturb-z

Visualizing Elevation data¶
sumo-gui and netedit allow coloring edges by:
- elevation at the start of the edge
- elevation at the start of each straight-line geometry segment for each edge
- inclination of the whole edge
- inclination of each straight-line geometry segment for each edge
To calibrate the color range to the elevations found in the network, the Recalibrate Rainbow within the gui settings dialog button may be used.
Furthermore, there is an "extra" version of sumo-gui available with support for 3D-Visualization which can be used to visualize elevation profiles as well.
