1.0 INTRODUCTION
Traverse is a surveying method for creating control networks. Survey stations are
placed along a travel route or track, with previously surveyed locations used as a
basis for observing the next point in the route network. Each of these is inextricably
linked with a nearby station, from which the direction and length of each line
are measured. There are two types of traverses which is open traverse and closed
traverse. An open movement ends at a point whose coordinates are unknown.
Closed traverses typically have the shape of a polygon. It starts and ends at
a point with known coordinates. A traverse survey also consists of a series of
interconnected lines between various points on the ground called traverse stations.
Continuous surveys are performed to measure both distances between stations and
angles between lines. If the circuit lines end at the starting point, the survey is called
a closed traverse. If the contour lines do not close, it is called an open traverse.
Closed traverses are suitable for wide traverses. This method is use for accurate
and precise measurements, but this field work we must estimate the distance between
station by using footsteps.
In addition, the goal of the search is to find the positions of all unknown points
relative to each other and to find the positions of all traversed points relative to the
entire grid. It requires three pieces of input data which is vertical angle, bearing and
3|Page
distance. Angles are measured by total station and distances can be measured by
calculating stadium readings or using electronic distance measuring equipment.
Angles are measured by total station and distances can be measured by calculating
stadium readings or using electronic distance measuring equipment. The use of total
station in cross-sectional surveying is one of the most common methods in
engineering work, providing control surveying, angular measurements and detailed
mapping. A total station is a tool used to measure horizontal and vertical angles.
To calculate the height of a point, such as taking the slope distance horizontally, you
need the vertical angle. A horizontal angle is required to obtain orientation relative to
a reference point or detailing station. Basically, closed traverse in clockwise direction.
Besides that, I want to introduce my teammate for traverse fieldwork. Our group
have 8 group members and each of them has their role in this team. Firstly, is our
leader, Harris. As a leader he must take the form at the counter to borrowing the item
such as auto station, prism, and tripod. Furthermore, we have Abyan such as an
observer in this traverse fieldwork. Observer job must setup the auto station before he
starts to observe. This is the challenging part as an observer because he must make
sure the horizontal bubble is in the right place which is centre. Other than that, he must
make sure the total station is in the middle of the tripod. Moreover, we have Soleh as
our data booking. After Abyan finish his observes, Soleh immediately right down the
data in her book. Next, we have Syazwan, Fariz, Farhana, Sabrina and Ikhmal as our
set up the prism.
Last but not least, our traverse fieldwork location has a lot of trees that blocking
our observation, so we have to make sure the trees are not blocking the observing
process. While Abyan observes the prism, all group members are working on the tree
removal.

3.0 SITE LOCATION
This traverse area was located in front of Pusat Islam on a rounder board. This location
was chosen because the earth's form differs at each place in the area, making it suited
for level measuring operations. It is challenging to accomplish the objective because of
the large number of trees, the slope, and the uneven land. The location we traversed is
located at coordinates 4°21'20.5"N 100°57'18.1"E

5.1 Reconnaissance
• Conducting reconnaissance is an essential requirement
for obtaining a genuine comprehension of the
topographical characteristics at the overview location,
which will enable the achievement of a comprehensive
viewpoint. This careful method guarantees that we can
effectively navigate the landscape, enabling us to make
educated decisions and adjustments as we progress
through our site inspection.
• The area that we use to do the traverse is in front of
Pusat Islam. The site we selected boasts an abundance
of trees and dense grass, creating a verdant landscape.
The terrain, characterized by rolling hills and
intermittently submerged areas, can be accurately
described as uneven land, adding a distinctive and
picturesque quality to the chosen location.
13 | P a g e
5.2 Station marking
• Choosing a marking point is an important step in station
delineation, and it helps if the object is easily removed.
Because it was more convenient in our instance, we
chose to identify the picket as our marking point.
Nonetheless, in order to reduce the possibility of
mislocating the station during further surveys or
evaluations, it is essential that the selected object be
immediately noticed. In our chosen site, we have
established five marking stations strategically spaced at
intervals of 30 feet from one station to the next. At each
designated station, we have securely planted a picket.
It is essential that these pickets are firmly placed to
ensure stability, facilitating easy visibility and
subsequent removal when necessary. This systematic
approach enhances the precision and efficiency of our
site measurement and assessment processes.

3. We will need to start to set up the tripod. We will need to
make sure the bubble stay in the right place. Install the
instrument (total station) on the tripod head. Then the
second tripod will be set up for prism. As a backsight at
STN 1 and foresight at STN 3. The datum for backsight
(stn 1) needs to be set as 00 00 00 for face left and 180
00 00 on the face right, while for foresight STN 3 needs
to get the reading value for face left a face right. Then the
observer will need to make sure the reading is right and
correct. After all the station data has been collected. We
will need to fill all the data in the traverse form.
NOTE: If there is error reading all of the calculation will be
automatically false and wrong.

6.2 Analysis
In our traverse we are using closed traverse that mark with 4 pickets. Every
distance was more than 25m or 30 feet from each other. Our correction for our traverse
is 0’5” in each station. These errors happened because of total station was not level,
prism did not properly set up, distance less than 25m. During traverse surveys,
discrepancies in calculated bearings, known as bearing misclosures, can arise due to
several factors. These misclosures necessitate corrections to ensure accurate results.
Imprecise instrument setup, inaccurate alignment or leveling of the total station or prism
can introduce errors in measurements. Incorrect prism placement, if the prism isn't
positioned precisely at designated points, bearings will deviate from their true values.
Even slight displacements can impact accuracy.
Traverses are often adjusted to distribute the errors among the measurements in
a statistically unbiased way. Different adjustment methods can be used depending on the
type of traverse and the available data. The quality of the data depends on the instruments
used, the measurement methods, and the data processing procedures. Identifying and
addressing any issues with the data quality is important for ensuring the accuracy of the
results.

8.0 CONCLUSION AND COMMENTS
8.1 Conclusion
Traverse is a surveying procedure used to create control networks. It also used for
geodesy. Traverse networks are formed by installing survey stations along a line or
course of travel and then using the previously surveyed locations as a base to observe
the following point. In this fieldwork, we got to creating a network of traverse legs and
stations to accurately locate ground features using the instrument. We were assigned to
conduct a traverse survey in front of Pusat Islam (PI) and near the roundabout. Our team
was needed to do a traverse survey, which we completed successfully with a class 1
result. Fortunately, all members of this crew put up their maximum effort and tolerance to
complete this assignment on time.
As we learned in class, the horizontal reading must be taken twice: once for the
first reading and then again for the second reading. Several obstacles arose while doing
the traverse survey. What we discovered that was quite difficult is that we had to hand
pull tree branches because they prevented the total station from taking data on the prism.
Then, we couldn’t get the spirit bubble inside the black circle. One of the challenges we
must face is the blazing weather. Lastly, because of the human aspect, the readings
obtained are inconsistent because there are multiple observers. Parallax mistake could
also occur.
After finishing this project, we will be able to identify the objects in our vicinity.
Then, we will use a scientific calculator to calculate Bearing Misclosure, perform C-
correction if there is an error, and use the Bowditch Method to analyse our data and
determine the outcome. To avoid errors, we must exercise caution when using the total
station and taking readings. Even though the formula and calculation were difficult and
time- consuming for us to learn and apply than the traverse survey, we persevered until
we could easily calculate and read total station for the traverse survey. We prefer the
fieldwork since it allows us to work together while traversing the survey. And on the
important report of traversing which is traverse accuracy we got it is 1:61000 which is
above 8000. So, our traversing was the first class.
28 | P a g e
Last but not least, we would like to thank our lecturer, Miss Farah and Miss Aliya,
for giving us the opportunity to learn traverse survey. We plan to conduct a similar survey
the next time we get the opportunity.

Assalamualaikum, first of all I would to thank all of our group member for finish in making
this project. We have been synchronizing for this whole 14 week. I am not actually feeling
emotional right now. Just feeling a little bit sad to be honest. I would also like to thanks
miss Farah and miss Alia for guiding us in finishing this project and teaching us a lot of
calculation especially. I really thought this project would been hard to complete but the
guide from Miss Farah and Miss Alia really made it a lot easier. To Miss Farah and Miss
Alia, I want to thank both of you because working hard in teaching and guide us for this
semester and I want to ask for forgiveness for all my mistake I made from week 1 – 14.
To all my fellow member, I would like to thank you guys for making project complete and
