Abstract
A traverse is a series of consecutive lines whose lengths and directions have been
determined from field measurements. It is chiefly used to determine the mutual
location of survey lines and station positions.
Data reduction procedures have been applied to reduce slope distances to
ellipsoidal distances to grid distances. Traverse computations were then performed in
Universal Transverse Mercator grid coordinates. The computations included
adjustment by the method of approximation and by the method of least squares
observation equations. Three resection points adjacent to the traverse line were used
to analyse the quality of the results. Adjusted traverse coordinates obtained by various
methods were compared. The best results were obtained by the least squares method
with selected weights incorporated for each observation.
