Position Fixing B Y Distance

This document describes a Java program that uses position fixing by distance to determine the coordinates of an unknown point based on distance measurements from known control points. The program takes inputs of control point coordinates, distance observations, and computes initial coordinates for the unknown point. It then iteratively adjusts the unknown point coordinates using least squares adjustment until convergence is reached. The output displays the adjusted coordinates of the unknown point and distances.

A typical plane coordinate survey procedure.

Distances between a set of known control points and a point with


unknown position are measured.
Two distances measured:
Unique solution of the two
coordinates (x and y) of the unknown point.

More than two distances measured:


Least squares adjustment of
coordinates (x and y) of the unknown point.

The distance to a point P is measured from three control points, as shown in the
table below. The reference variance is 0.01 km2.

a. Using triangle ABP to compute for the initial estimates of point P,


determine the
adjusted coordinates of the point. Iterate until convergence is
achieved.
b. What are the adjusted distances from each control point to P?
