Abstract
We study how to convert OpenStreetMap data to road networks for downstream applications. OpenStreetMap data has different formats. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is one of them. OSM data consist of nodes, ways, and relations. We process OSM XML data to extract the information of nodes and ways to obtain the map of streets of the Memphis area. We can use this map for different downstream applications.
