TRAVERSING AND TRAVERSE COMPUTATION

INTERIOR ANGLE TRAVERSE

• Interior angles are the angles formed between the


adjacent sides of a closed figure.
• Interior angles may be measured either in a clockwise
or counterclockwise direction.
• The common mistakes in reading, plotting and
recording are reduced if one method of measurement is
consistently adapted.
• To get the total interior angles: (n-2)180°

TRAVERSING AND TRAVERSE COMPUTATION

DEFLECTION ANGLE TRAVERSE


• Deflection angles are horizontal angles measured
clockwise or counterclockwise from the
prolongation of the preceding line to the
succeeding line.
• They vary from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
• They must be designated as right (R) or left (L)
• Summation of the deflection angles, considering
those turned to the left as being opposite in sign to
those turned to the right, should equal to 360
degrees.

ANGLE TO THE RIGHT


TRANSVERSE

• The angles for this type of traverse are measured


clockwise from the backsight on the back line to a
forward line.
•Angles may lie anywhere between 0 to 360 degrees.
•Sum of the angles should equal to (n+2)180

LINEAR ERROR OF CLOSURE


It refers to the length and bearing of a line
segment joining the initial and terminal point of a
closed traverse.

COMPASS RULE
• named after the distinguished American navigator
Nathaniel Bowditch
• It is based on the assumption that all lengths were
measured with equal care and all angles taken with
approximately the same precision.

TRANSIT RULE
• With this, the latitude and departure corrections
depend on the length of the latitude and departure
of the course respectively instead of both
depending on the length of the course.
•It is based on the assumption that the angular
measurements are more precise than the linear
measurements and that the errors in traversing are
accidental.

RECTANGULAR COORDINATES

• Two horizontal distances measured to a point


from a pair of mutually perpendicular axes are
referred to as the rectangular coordinates of a
point.

COORDINATE METHOD

COORDINATE METHOD
• When a survey is run and made to close on a distant
terminal station or point of known coordinates, it will be
expected that the computed coordinates of the terminal
station will differ from its known coordinates.
•This may be employed when the preliminary coordinates
of stations along the traverse have been determined.
