This document discusses methods for measuring distances through step counting. It defines key terms like unit pace and explains how to calculate standard pace by comparing known distances to step counts. Examples are provided for calculating distances on flat and sloped ground using standard pace. The objectives are to learn how to measure distances with both step counting and tapes, and accurately use step counting for surveying work. Students will practice these methods to measure distances between points A and B.

Distence and Pacing

Measuring distance horizontally can be measured in many ways, such as step counting, tape
measuring, and measuring using a measuring wheel, etc. Step counting is to find the pace of an
individual to use in estimation. Of the path that the surveyor began to walk from the starting point to
the desired destination instead of the surveying using a tape measure. Each one off the pace, but the
individual is no longer the same, so it must have been for a long time pace estimated to be used in
further exploration.

Objective
In the process of measuring the distance by step counting has the following objectives:
1. To find the standard step length of each person who conducts the survey
2. To use the standard step that has been used to Estimating distance in survey work
3. To compare distance measurement by counting steps with metallic tape or steel tape
4. To enable students to be proficient in measuring distance with metallic tape or Steel tape and step
counting
5. To enable students to use distance measurement by counting steps to use correctly and suitable for
the job.

Principles and theories

Unit Pace: Standard steps are measured in terms of distance per 1 step. Each unit pace shown in
Figure 1. 1 is unequal and can be obtained from natural walking. On a line that knows 2-3 exact
distances, take the number of steps received in each trip and divide it into known distance, then get the
standard pace (Unit Pace). From counting steps from equation 1. 1
Each channel = unit pace x number of step

Example1.1
A person counted 88 paces by walking along 60.00 m know length on level ground and 111 paces of
unknown distance AB. What is the pace length and the length of AB?
Solution
Pace length = 60.00/88 = 0.6818 m/pace
Length of AB = 0.6818*111 = 75.6798 ≈ 75.680 m
In step counting, it has a resolution of 1/100. It has been developed as a wheel, which is
attached to the handle, pushing the wheel in the direction you want to know the distance and counting
the number of turns multiplied by the distance of The circumference will have the distance of the line
that the scroll wheel rotates over and the accuracy will increase to 1/200. Normally, the scroll wheel will
have an accessory called odometer as in Figure 1. 2. It is used to count the number of rolling wheels.
Suitable for a distance that is curved.

Figure 1. 2 measuring wheel if wanting to find the horizontal distance on a slope (Slope area)
with step counting can be done but must find the standard step on the slope first or use mathematical
equations if knowing the slope.

From Figure 1. 3, if we know the H distance from tape measure and the number of steps from
point B to point C from the average of at least 2 trips, standard steps can be found from H, steps which
are steps The standard on a slope that has changed to a horizontal distance, then can be taken to find
the horizontal distance of point A to point D by counting steps from point A to point D and then
multiplying by the standard step distance at Can be found as The calculation example 1. 2 or if the
slope angle g. Can be determined from the camera level or the hand level (Hand Level) from Figure 1. 4,
which is achieved by setting the camera level between points B and C. Find the difference. Level V, and
then calculate the angle from the mathematical equations of H and V. After obtaining the angle, then
find the distance on the slope of point A to point D by finding the standard step by counting the number
of steps between point B. Arrive at point C at least 2 trips Next, find the standard step from L, the
number of steps to get the standard step on the slope, and then find the distance on the slope of point
A to point D from the number of steps between point A to point D times the distance The standard step
that can be obtained when the distance on the slope AD can be obtained from the ADcosd equation.
