COURSE OUTCOMES (COs):
COURSE OUTCOMES (COs):
1) Carry out a contour survey for undulating/hilly regions
using a Tacheometer and prepare contour map.
2) Setting out a horizontal curve using a theodolite.
3) Carry out traverse survey using total station, import the
data in the computer, and prepare drawing using Auto

4) Record and retrieve the data using a Hand-Held GPS
5) Give a demonstration of the field procedure of
modern surveying equipments.
4. Introduction
Introduction :
• Modern surveying instruments are faster and more precise
than traditional instruments.
• Modern surveying instruments, such as Total Stations, GPS
devices, and 3D Laser Scanners, provide precise
measurements and data collection for land surveyors.
These advanced tools enable efficient data processing, real-
time mapping, and accurate topographical analysis,
revolutionizing the traditional surveying methods and
enhancing the overall quality of survey data.

5. GPS
GPS :
Global Positioning System which stands for Global Positioning
System, is the only system today able to show you your exact
position on the Earth anytime, in any weather, anywhere.

6. Global Positioning System (GPS): How it works
Global Positioning System (GPS): How it works:
6
• At least 24 operational
GPS satellites in orbit
– 12 hour orbit
– 11,000 miles above
earth
– Atomic clock
• Oscillations of a single
atom to determine time
– Synchronized, send
signals at same time

7. Global Positioning System (GPS):
How it works cont’d.
• Satellites send data to earth which are picked
up by a receiver
• Signals arrive at different times based on the
distance from the satellite
– L1 (1575.42 MHz)
• Receiver needs to determine
distance to four satellites
– Determines 3-dimensional
position
– Does not send out a signal
• But how does the receiver
determine its distance from
each satellite?
7
8. Global Positioning System (GPS):
How it works cont’d.
• To calculate distance:
– Distance = Speed * Time
• Speed ≈ Speed of Light
• How to determine time?
– GPS receiver’s clock becomes synchronized to Coordinated
Universal Time by tracking four or more satellites
– Each satellite transmits a unique “pseudo random” code at
extremely precise time intervals
– Receiver knows each satellite’s pseudo random code and when
they are sent
– Receiver determines the time delay it takes to match the expected
satellite pseudo random code with the received pseudo random
code
• Time Delay = Time!

9. Global Positioning System (GPS):
Sources of Error
• Speed of light is only a constant in a vacuum
– Atmospheric
• Charged Particles in the Ionosphere
• Water Molecules in the Troposphere
• Ephemeris errors
– Error that effects the satellite’s orbit (ephemeris)
– Caused by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon, and the
pressure caused by solar radiation
– Error monitored by the Department of Defense (DoD) and
broadcasted to the GPS satellites
• Multipath Error
– Timing error from signals bouncing off of objects such as
buildings or mountains
– Can be reduced by signal rejection techniques
• How can we reduce errors caused by the atmosphere? 9
12. Global Positioning System (GPS):
Error Correction: DGPS
• DGPS = Differential GPS
• Basic Idea:
– Use known locations as reference locations
• Exact Position is known, compare to the location
determined by GPS
• Develop error correction data by using the difference of the
exact location and the GPS determined location
– Broadcast error correction data to local GPS receivers
(receivers within 200km of the reference station)
– Error correction can remove errors caused by the
atmosphere—makes GPS data more accurate!

16. Global Positioning System (GPS):
Error Correction: WAAS
• Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)
– WAAS is an example of DGPS
– Also referred to as a Satellite Based Augmentation
System (SBAS)
– Developed by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)
– Uses a network of ground based stations in North
America and Hawaii
– Measures variations in satellite signals
• Relays error to geostationary WAAS satellites
• Used to improve accuracy and integrity of data
– Independent systems being developed in Europe
(Galileo), Asia, and India.

20. Differential GPS (DGPS)
Differential GPS (DGPS):
• Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to
the Global Positioning System (GPS) which provides
improved location accuracy, in the range of operations of
each system, from the 15 m nominal GPS accuracy to about
10 cm in case of the best implementations.
• The United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Canadian
Coast Guard (CCG) each run DGPS in the US and Canada on
long wave radio frequencies between 285 kHz and 325 kHz
near major waterways and harbours.
• DGPS is a land based technology that works to improve the
accuracy of GPS system. This can yield efficient
measurements to 1-5 m in moving as well as stationary
situations. 20
21. Differential GPS (DGPS)
Differential GPS (DGPS):
• The DGPS involves the cooperation of two receivers , a
stationary one (Base receiver) and another is rover receiver.

Geographic Information System (GIS):

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer
system that analyzes and displays geographically
referenced information. It uses data that is attached to
a unique location.
45. Geographic Information System (GIS)
Geographic Information System (GIS):
45
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer
system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying
data related to positions on Earth’s surface. GIS can
show many different kinds of data on one map, such
as streets, buildings, and vegetation. This enables
people to more easily see, analyze, and understand
patterns and relationships.
#8:Explain what pseudo random code means – such complex code it appears random but really is not. Prevents crosstalk/interference, eliminates harmful effects of noise.
Remember clocks are synchronized! Use example of synched watches. Message sent at precisely noon. Friend received at exactly 12:05. assuming a straight line, and speed of light. Your friend is 90 billion meters away.
