Lecture 7 Traverse Adjustment and Area Computation by DMD and DPD

This document discusses methods for computing latitude, departure, and area for traverse surveys in surveying. It covers the compass rule and transit rule for balancing latitudes and departures. It then describes the double meridian distance and double parallel distance methods for computing corrected latitude and departure values and the area. These methods use the latitude and departure of each line segment to compute accumulated values and the final area.

LECTURE 7: TRAVERSE ADJUSTMENT AND AREA COMPUTATION BY

DMD AND DPD


Latitude and Departure Balancing Latitudes and Departures

Compass Rule:

Transit Rule:

EX2: Compute for the corrected latitude and


departure for the traverse in EX1.
Latitude of a line – projection on the north-south
DMD (Double Meridian Distance) Method
meridian
1. DMD of first course is equal to the departure of
the course

Departure of a line – projection on the east-west line 2. DMD of any other course is equal to the DMD of
the preceding course, plus the departure of the
preceding course, plus the departure of the course
itself
Where: L = length of the line
= bearing angle 3. DMD of the last course is numerically equal to the
departure of that course, but with the opposite sign.

Sign convention: North and East (+)


South and West (-)
DPD (Double Parallel Distance) Method
Error of Closure 1. DPD of first course is equal to the latitude of the
course
;
2. DPD of any other course is equal to the DPD of the
Error in Latitude (EL) = resulting error from sum preceding course, plus the latitude of the preceding
of latitude course, plus the latitude of the course itself
Error in Departure (ED) = resulting error from
sum of departure 3. DPD of the last course is numerically equal to the
latitude of that course, but with the opposite sign.
Linear Error of Closure:

Relative Error of Closure:
