1.0 INTRODUCTION

Traversing is a type of survey in which there are a number of connected survey lines
from the framework. It is also commonly referred to as a controlled method of surveying.
Generally , traversing involves the measurement of the following parameters which is the length
of each survey line and also the angle between the successive survey lines or the bearings of
the lines. The measurement of the directions of the lines is usually done by means of angle
measuring devices such as theodolite and the length is measured with the help of tape. There
are two types of traverse surveying, which are closed traverse and open traverse. Close
traverse is when the lines from a circuit which ends at the starting point, while open traverse is
when the lines from a circuit end elsewhere except the starting point. To differentiate this type of
surveying is where the closed traverse is suitable for locating the boundaries of lakes, woods,
and for a survey of large areas while the open traverse is suitable for surveying a long narrow
strip of lands as required for a road of the canal or the coastline. This traversing consists of
several methods that depend on the instruments used in determining the relative directions of
the traverse lines. The principal methods are chain traversing, chain and compass traversing,
transit type traversing and also plane table traversing.
For this time, we were taught something new which is the modern concept of traverse.
Title Survey Module (TSM) is the software that we use to gather the cadastral field information.
This product comprises a couple modules and equipment. This product was created to meet the
necessity of cadastral survey. The fundamental of this product is MapInfo programming where it
has been altered for use on Tablet PCs, Flash Card GPS and total station. TSM utilization
started in 2002 when the Department of Survey and Mapping actualized the “field to finish” of
F2F. TSM is utilized to gather survey data information in the field completely automated. The
title survey framework is a coordinated automatic to the final output without causing a
considerable measure of redundancy in the work. In other words, TSM utilization will minimize
the error.
For this practical session, we were given the task to complete a traverse of any lot in
UiTM Shah Alam. One of the distinctions of this survey is that we used a Toughbook for all
booking operations. The Toughbook and TSM were used for traversing and solar observations
on the survey line in order to perform the M-correction. Since we are able to choose any lot of
survey areas, then we decided to conduct the survey at Akademi Kepolisan UiTM Shah Alam
while it has lots of parking lot with a wide area. So, it is easier for us to conduct our survey work.

2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 REVIEW
In this part, it will explain about the meaning of survey terms that relate to strata surveys that are
involved in this task. All the terms obtained from the Circular 1/2015 of Director Surveying and
Mapping Malaysia which for subdivision of building or land.

2.2 DATUM
In cadastral survey, datum is a line consisting of adopted/proved bearing and the distance and it
will become the reference line to start the survey job. Datum also is used to find fixed or
permanent coordinates. Without good datum (condition), the surveyor will not achieve a good
job or satisfaction.

2.3 TYPE OF DATUM

Before starting any cadastral work, the most important thing is establishing a datum. According
to KPUP Bil 5 2009 the datum needs to be in a good position to make it as reference for the
whole work survey referred.

1) Datum is divided into three types, for the first one is Cadastral Reference Mark (CRM)
station. There are five criteria for selective Cadastral Reference Mark:

I. At least two new CRM station that separated and not less than 30 meter made
simultaneous observation via MyRTKnet method for first CRM station and method static
for second station,
II. At least two new CRM that separated and not less than 30 meters made simultaneous
observation with static method for both prints,
III. At least two new CRM stations that separated and not less than 30 meters made
observation with MyRTKnet method for both station in one initializes,
IV. At least two new CRM stations that separated not less than 75 meter made observation
with MyRTKnet method real time for both stations in two initializes and
V. If two old CRM stations are used, the position needs to be proved with a third station
with angular measurement and distance measurement whether from CRM old or
NDCDB near.

5
2) Two marks measurement from NDCDB that separated not less than 40 meter which that
exact position has proved with direct measurement or traverse and calculation, together with
astronomical observation for azimuth or MyRTKnet observation and

3) Two marks measurement contiguous from NDCDB that proved the position and establishing
a third mark with measure angle and distance or with traverse and place in the exact position.
Based on circular 2002, the distance of the line to be used as datum should be more than 30
meters and should be allowed the limit that are for lines not exceeding 40 meter bearing
exceeding 01' and distances exceeding 0.015 meters or for a line that exceeds 40 meter
bearing more than 15.

2.4 DIFFERENTIAL FIELD TEST (DFT)

This test is carried out to make sure the total station or EDM used in a good condition under
acceptable tolerance. The allowed tolerance for DFT is 10mm. If the requirement does not meet
or above the given tolerance, the instrument may need more inspection that can be done by the
instrument company. If it exceeds 0.010 meter, redo the test. If the Differential Field Test is not
within limits, calibration must be done onto the total station.

2.5 TRAVERSING
Traverse used to establish control networks by connecting control stations. Combination of
angle and distance measurement used to determine the coordinate of control points. According
to KPUP Bil.6 2009 traverse has bearing and distance.

I. For urban areas, traverse must be closed with nearest CRM or any boundary mark that
is proven in good condition for each 25 stations or 1km.
II. For rural areas, the traverse must be closed with nearest CRM or any boundary mark
that is proven in good condition for each 25 stations or 2.5km.

2.5.1 CLOSE TRAVERSE

The closed traverse is one in which a complete cycle is made and consequently the work can
be checked and adjusted. These types of surveys may be employed to locate the perimeter of
any moderately large survey. A closed traverse begins and ends on the same point or begins
with a known point and ends at another known point. According to survey regulation 2002, the
allowance tolerance for traverse are:

6
 I. Linear misclosure is 1:10000.
II. Angular misclosure is 1’15”.
III. Difference between face left and face right is less than 10”.

2.6 BASELINE
Baseline can be defined as a line connecting two boundary marks, which have been proven,
either by observation or calculation, to be in their original position and further verified by a third
mark. Purpose of baseline is to provide adjustment factors for previous values of bearing and
distance of the surveyed lines, to accommodate previous survey value to the current survey
data and to ensure survey quality.
There are some characteristics of baseline such as:
I. The procedures specified in the determination of survey datum shall be applied in
baseline identification,
II. Baseline shall be longer than the boundary line where its mark is to be refixed,
III. Baseline should be selected as close as possible to the mark to be refixed,
IV. The computation of per-original (PO) value of baseline must through boundary mark to
be refixed,
V. The computation of the new value of baseline should involve traversing the value close
to the mark to be refixed.
There is some procedure to calculate baseline calculation:
I. Using certified plan data, calculate PO values of bearing and distance for the baseline.
II. Using traverse values, calculate NEW values of the baseline.
III. Calculate PO and New values for the third mark.
IV. Compare PO and New values of baseline and its third mark.
V. Check the differences in angle and distances.
Internal angle tolerance between baseline and its third marks should not exceed 10’’. Baseline
should be adjacent or near to the missing or out of position boundary marks. Baseline should be
longer than the boundary line to be refixed. The previous survey values (per-original PO) of a
baseline shall be computed from the most recent Certified Plan (CP). The current survey values
(New) of baselines shall be computed from current survey traverses. Baselines calculations
must include values of bearing and distances of marks/marks to be refixed.

3.2 DATUM

Before starting the survey, we need to have a datum, that is the one we use as a reference point
to start a new survey work. In this site practical, we assumed the baseline as our datum. The
procedure is as below:

1) The total station was set up at station 1 while prism was set up at station 2 and station 3.
2) The total station was connected with the Toughbook by Bluetooth function.
3) Open the Title Survey Module (TSM) software in the Toughbook.
4) User IC is keyed in and open job of IC named (001006-13-0469) and “Title Module
Survey” to begin.
5) Set Starting Point by clicking the nail icon and click ‘OK’, the point will be referred to as
station 1.
6) Then the baseline is then created in the TSM as the icon and station 1 is clicked again.
7) Observe the total station from station 1 to station 2 both face left and face right, then the
line will be saved and it will appear on the screen.
8) The baseline of station 1 to station 2 is recorded at the station browser in the TSM.

9
3.3 DIFFERENTIAL FIELD TEST

1) Set up the total station at Station 2, a prism at Station 1 as back bearing, and another prism
at Station 3 as forward bearing.

2) After the Bluetooth is connected between the Toughbook and the total station, open the TSM
in the Toughbook.

3) Total station and prism are placed at the start and end of the line, respectively. The distance
observed is recorded in the TSM.

4) Then, move the position of the total station in the centre between the two prisms.

5) Both of the prisms' distances from the total station were measured and automatically
recorded.

6) The distances between the two readings were compared to determine the instrument’s
accuracy whether it needs to be calibrated or not.

3.4 TRAVERSING

1) The total station was set up at station 1 and a prism was set up at station 2 as the back
bearing, meanwhile at station 3, another prism was set up as the forward bearing.

2) After making sure that the Toughbook and the total station has been connected, choose
Station 1 as an observer, and then click "Capture" to start recording the data on the TSM.

3) Then, shoot station 2 with the total station, and the Toughbook will show "CL To 2". After that,
click "OK".

4) The Toughbook will then show "CL to Target," with Station 3 (Forward Bearing) marked as
the target. Select "OK."

5) The Toughbook will then show "CR To 2," showing that the Total Station is now at
Station 2. Select "OK." to proceed.

10
6) The total station now will be facing station 3, and the Toughbook will show "CR to Target" and
we need to press "OK."

7) Select "Save" and "OK." to save the bearing and distance that has been observed.

8) It will display a traverse line (Red Line).

9) Finally, repeat the process until the traverse is successfully closed.

5.0 ANALYSIS

Based on the data that were derived from 4.0 RESULTS Title Survey Module, there were
several subtopics to be analyzed:

5.1 DIFFERENTIAL FIELD TEST (DFT)

Based on data Field Book, the distance was observed as follows:

AB = 45.355m
CA = 21.618m
CB = 23.740m
(CA + CB) = 45.357m
Difference = (CA + CB) - (AB) = 0.002m

There is a difference between distance AB and distance (CA+CB) which is 0.002m and still
within the tolerance as it is still not exceeding the limit 0.010m. Therefore, our total station that
registered number is 3Y2004 are in good condition and in acceptable working order

5.2 DAILY CHECKING

Daily checking should be made every day before continuing the previous job on the new day.
This to ensure the instruments are in good condition. In this practical, we conducted daily
checking on the previous station. Previous station was STN2-STN3, hence daily checking was
conducted on STN3-STN2 on 26th May 2022. The difference in the distance was 0.001m which
is still within tolerance of 0.010m. Thus, our total station is acceptable and in good condition.

5.3 BASELINE

By following DSMM’s practices, we assumed the datum to start the survey with bearing

360° 00’ 00” on line 1 to 2. Then, we observed the distance of the selected baseline both face
left and face right. The distance should be larger than 30 meters (>30m).

16
5.4 FIELD BOOK TRAVERSING

For the traversing part in FIGURE 1.0 (4.0 RESULTS), the data derived from TSM is the data
that we observed at the field site. All calculations including traverse adjustment, Bowditch
Method, Linear Misclosure, and Traverse Precision are calculated by TSM in Toughbook. Thus,
all error elimination for C-Correction is being shown. However, since we did not manage solar
observations so, there will be no error elimination for azimuth (M-Correction).

5.5 BEARING CLOSE STATEMENT REPORT

Based on FIGURE 2.0 (4.0 RESULTS), TSM have calculated our C-Correction of each station
which as follows:

Line 1-2 read as : 359⁰ 59’ 58”

Line 1-2 should be read as : 359⁰ 59’ 32”
Error for 6 stations : 359⁰ 59’ 58” - 359⁰ 59’ 32” = +00⁰ 00’ 26”
C-Correction for 6 stations : +26”/6 = -4.33

Since we got +26” for our bearing misclosure then it is accepted. This is because according to
Pekeliling KPUP Bil.3/2003 that bearing misclosure is within tolerance if it's under the limit 1’15”
for First Class Survey and each station must not exceed 10” error. Thus, our traverse is
accepted because we managed to get a tolerance of -4.33” and achieve First Class Survey.

5.6 LINEAR MISCLOSURE REPORT

Next, by referring to FIGURE 3.0 (4.0 RESULTS), TSM has calculated our Linear Misclosure
and Traverse Precision. The manual calculation is shown below for proving the data derived
from TSM.

7.0 CONCLUSION

Alhamdulillah, we were able to complete the task within the time frame set by our
lecturer for TSM fieldwork. We were eventually able to complete it on time. Thank you to our
lecturers, Mohamad Hezri Bin Razali and Sr. Noraain Binti Mohamed Saraf, for explaining and
guiding us through this fieldwork. We faced various obstacles while working on our assignment,
but we must endure until it is finished. Unpredictable weather conditions, such as heat and
humidity, do not necessarily hinder us from carrying on with our task. We initially encountered a
difficulty with Toughbook, which is usually a mistake, and we wanted to find a solution. When
this happens, though, we can think about what the problem is and solve it by asking our
instructor. This issue makes our group members more cautious and focused when using
Toughbook and TSM software.

Throughout this fieldwork, we can examine the benefits and disadvantages of using
Toughbook and TSM software. To begin, we may conclude that it will make surveyors' process
faster, easier, and smoother without the need for manual booking. This application of Toughbook
is a field to finish ideas employed by the surveyor outside. The disadvantage of utilizing
Toughbook and software TSM in fieldwork is that sometimes when we are dealing with an
automated system, we cannot avoid encountering any fault or system error that we truly did not
know what solution to take in order to address it. As a result, there are some benefits and some
disadvantages to employing this technique. As a result of learning about Toughbook and TSM,
we are now able to use this equipment and software in our daily job. After completing the
survey, all of the results will be displayed, and we will only need to print them. Because there is
no more manual calculation and booking, surveyors' work is made much easier. As a result,
students are more familiar with it and can use it in advance. Finally, a particular thanks to our
group members for their helpfulness in accomplishing this assignment.

❖ MUHAMMAD ADAM BIN SHAMSUANUAR (2020492192)

Assalamualaikum, First and foremost, I would like to thank my instructors and team members
because, without them, I would not have understood how to use the Toughbook and TSM
programme. As a novice, I always had a lot of trouble with this equipment, but with everyone's
help and asking our lecturer Mohamad Hezri Bin Razali and Sr. Noraain Binti Mohamed Saraf,
I'll be able to fix it. In my opinion, there are certain pros and downsides to using this equipment,
but with it, we will be able to think about how to handle it. Aside from that, using Toughbook
genuinely makes our work easier, smoother, and can be completed in a lot shorter period of
time than if we utilised manual booking.This is due to the fact that all computations are
performed automatically, and the report can only be accessed at the output. I'm hoping to be
able to use this equipment after I finish my studies, especially at a higher stage.

❖ AHMAD IRSYADUDDIN BIN AHMAD RAMZAN (2020449806)

After 3 semesters of using manual data collection with the traverse logbook, we eventually have
the opportunity to use the Toughbook, which is quite convenient for us because with it, we just
need to connect the Toughbook with the total station and then we just set up the total station
and start to shoot the target, which is the prism. From the Differential Field Test, Baseline,
Traversing, and data processing, all the data are automatically recorded inside the Title Survey
Module software inside the Toughbook and does all the hard work for us. The downside of using
the Toughbook is that the Toughbook that we are given are all outdated and laggy, sometimes
the cursor does not even move, and we need to tap on the screen hardly to make it move. But
overall, our workload has all been greatly reduced due to not having to write down all the
bearings and distances which probably will be recorded wrongly, that will make our results
different from our current results. Although we had some hard encounters when we choose
Pusat Islam as our survey site and have finished our survey there and then we decided to
change our site to Akademi Kepolisan UiTM and start the survey all over again, we are happy
and satisfied with the experience we have gained. Lastly, thanks to our lecturer, Sir Hezri for
guiding us throughout the site practical and my teammates that underwent the hardships
together.

 ❖ ALYA FARZANA BINTI MOHD AYUB (2020604906)
First of all, what I have learned throughout this practical GLS559 Advanced Cadastral Surveying
was how to conduct traversing in Title Survey Module (TSM) using Panasonic Tough Book.
Then, I also learned how to conduct the procedures on how to use eTSM software which is the
same as a real job in cadastral. For me, this is a very new experience to me, and I am glad that
I was able to conduct the Tough Book with my group mates. Other than that, my group mates
were very helpful throughout the practical by assisting each other whenever one needed help.
Luckily, we managed to finish and accomplish the Title Survey Module even at the first time it
was hard to understand the practical well. I always faced many problems in handling the Tough
Book, but cheer up to my members as they give full responsibility and commitment to make all
this done. Along with this report, I also gain more knowledge and become more understanding
of what I am doing. Appreciation and thanks to my lecturer of Advanced Cadastral Surveying Sr.
Mohamad Hezri bin Razali and Sr. Noorain binti Mohamed Saraf for all the guidance to us and
teaching us very well along this semester. Next time, I hope that I can apply all this knowledge
and skills in the future perfectly.

❖ NOR ARINA BINTI MOHD AZEMI (2020482972)

First of all, what I have learned throughout this practical session is about how to conduct
traverse by using the Title Survey Module (TSM) using Panasonic Tough Book as it was our first
time using this new instrument. What I've got from this practical session is that, this TSM is the
software that we used to collect cadastral field data that will completely automate the gathering
of survey data with little effort of redundancy. On the whole, after we studied all about TSM then
we were able to conduct the survey of traverse by using Toughbook easily. From this study, I’ve
gained so much knowledge especially in terms of TSM and become more understanding about
the work that we were handling before. I couldn’t deny that we faced lots of problems while
finishing this practical but with the help from our lecturer, Sr Hezri Razali, we could finish all the
works during the practical session. A big thanks to our lecturer for all the help and guidance
from the first day till we manage to settle all of our work. Though we had so many problems
during our work, with all the cooperation given by teammates, we managed to complete the
work in accordance with the time given.

 ❖ NURLIYANA BINTI AYOB (2020878022)

First of all, thanks to Allah for giving His opportunity for completing this task. Additionally, I'd like
to thank all of my friends, as well as the lecturers, for their teaching and advice. This practical
task gives us the information and experience needed to carry out the practical work, which is
how to conduct traverse by using the Title Survey Module (TSM). We use the Title Survey
Module (TSM) programming to acquire data from the cadastral fields. A few modules and pieces
of equipment make up this product. This product was developed to fulfill the need for cadastral
survey. As you are surely aware, Malaysia's cadastral survey has advanced swiftly. This
product's core component is the MapInfo programming, which has been modified for usage with
tablet computers, flash cards for GPS, and total stations. When the Department of Survey and
Mapping established "field to finish," or F2F, TSM began using it. TSM is used to fully automate
the collection of survey data in the field. no longer making manual reservations.

The hot and muggy weather made it tough for us to complete this survey practically, which
made it take longer to observe the goal. However, our group managed to complete the survey
practically in the allotted time.

❖ NUR INTAN MARLISSA BINTI NAZRI (2020498856)

First of all, during this practical work, this semester, we must do a standard traverse using
Toughbook as our first task in the cadastral subject. At the site we separate work for each
person to make it run smoothly and the work can finish early. I have gained new knowledge and
new experience on this subject although I am struggling to grasp it. I want to thank my
teammates for giving such great cooperation and support while conducting this survey job. Not
to forget my lecturer, Mr. Hezri for guiding us throughout this semester. This project teaches me
how to do survey work by using a software called Title Survey Module (eTSM) in the
Toughbook. It is so much easier than the manual procedures itself but there are some
deficiencies in using an electronic device. This software has helped save surveyors’ time and
energy including accuracy in calculations related to the survey. However, when it comes to the
wrong booking data, the report will give us a false statement or worse, it cannot generate the
report at all. Thus, sometimes there are times when this software or the Toughbook cannot run
smoothly. Those will affect the survey work we have been doing in terms of time and energy.
Most of the time, this software was worth the work. I hope these skills will benefit me in future.
Last but not least, during this fourth semester, we are ready to meet one another face to face

27
just for a while because our country is already endemic but it does not break my spirit to find out
more during this subject. There also are some problems that my group encountered while doing
this practical, which is conducting the survey work with erratic weather and limited time but we
must follow all the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) strictly. Luckily, with the guide that has
been given in lecture notes from our lecture, Sir Hezri, I manage to complete my task for this
practical. Overall, it is a well done job and everybody in the team plays their role. Thank you.
