Abstract

Total station has become the main tool in most engineering work. Accordingly, evaluation of this work has gained a significant importance. A methodology to evaluate precision of cadastral work done using total station is presented here. The used technique is based on propagation of random errors of quantities measured by total station; i.e., distance and both horizontal and vertical angles. Random error in distance is produced by EDM unit integrated into total station. Whereas, random errors in horizontal and vertical angles are produced by theodolite integrated unit. Moreover, backsight process conducted in field results in addition random error in horizontal angles. This research studies how the above errors affect the resulted rectangular coordinates measured by total station for each observed point. Experiments were done using both simulated and real datasets. Results showed that the calculated errors were close to the expected errors and did not exceed the allowable ones.
