Traversing is the surveying method to determine stations by using traverse lines observed using the different methods in determining angles, directions and distances.
The two kinds of traverse are closed traverse and open traverse. Closed traverse is further identified as those which have the last remaining station with known information which means the surveyors would have a definite idea on the discrepancy in cases when errors are observed. Closed traverses are those commonly employed when checking the boundary lines of a property and when surveying routes for pavement or roads with the end station of known angle.
Open traverse, on the other hand, is similar with the traverse used for roads but the only difference is that this kind of traverse have an unknown last station. Surveyors have no basis to check the angles observed in the procedure.
Traverses are measured by the following methods:
A. Interior / Exterior Angle
B. Angle to the Right / Left
C. Deflection Angles
D. Bearings
E. Azimuths
