Abstract

The development and use of electronic distance-measuring instruments has posed the problem that many of our triangulation networks have become a mixture of triangulation, trilateration, and traverse, especially in the areas where control is needed for the interstate highway program. A method of adjusting triangulation, trilateration, and traverse simultaneously is presented in this paper. The formulas, methods, and techniques were devised in an attempt to make an adjustment that gives a satisfactory solution with minimum distortion to both angular and distance measurements. A presentation of several approaches to the problem is made with emphasis given to the application of these methods to an intermediate-sized electronic computer.
