  1. E4004 Survey Computations A Bowditch Adjustment

  2. Traverse Adjustment • Bowditch Rule • based on the assumption that angles (bearings) are observed to the same degree of precision that distances can be measured

  3. Bowditch Rule from E0007 • Adjust the angular misclose • calculate the misclose in position • adjust according to the formula length of the current line = latitude of the current line = departure of the current line = sum of the traverse line lengths

  4. Bowditch - New Method • Adjust the angular misclose • calculate the misclose in position • consider the diagram • AB’C’D’ is a traverse from A to D C’ D’ B’ A D

  5. Bowditch - New Method • But the traverse coordinates of D’ are not the same as D • the misclose at D is D’D C’ D’ B’ A D

  6. Bowditch - New Method • Let the traverse line lengths be 1, 2 and 3 as shown • The total length of traverse is 1+2+3=6 C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 A D

  7. Bowditch - New Method • In order to adjust the traverse such that D’ and D are coincident D’ would have to be corrected by a Brg and Dist equal to D’D C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 A D

  8. Bowditch - New Method • according to Bowditch the correction at each intermediate point is proportional to the length of each separate traverse line over the total traverse length times the misclose C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 A D

  9. Bowditch - New Method • In this example the correction at D’ must be of the total misclose • Divide D’D into 6 parts C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 A D

  10. Bowditch - New Method • The correction at B’ must be in the same direction but for a length proportional to 1/6 of the total correction C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 A BAdj D

  11. Bowditch - New Method • The correction at C’ must be in the same direction but for a length proportional to (1+2)/6 of the total correction C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  12. Bowditch - New Method • The adjusted bearings and distances would form the lines as shown C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  13. Bowditch - New Method • A close program can be used to calculate the adjusted bearings and distances and the adjusted coordinates C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  14. Bowditch - New Method • Consider the triangle AB’B • Once the correction (D’D) is known both lines AB’ and B’B are known • The line AB can be calculated by closure C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  15. Bowditch - New Method • From Badj draw a line parallel to B’C’ • The bearing and distance BAdjC” are the same as for B’C’ • The line C”Cadj is the correction relevant to this line i.e. 2/6 Corr C’ 3 D’ 2 C” B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  16. Bowditch - New Method • Close the triangle BAdjC”Cadj and the adjusted bearing and distance BAdjCAdj is found C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D

  17. Bowditch - New Method • Similarly, draw a line parallel to C’D’ from CAdj • The line D”Dadj is the correction relevant to this line i.e. 3/6 Corr C’ 3 D’ 2 C” B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D” D

  18. Bowditch - New Method • Close the triangle CAdjD”Dadj and the adjusted bearing and distance CAdjDAdj is found C’ 3 D’ 2 B’ 1 CAdj A BAdj D
