    Dear Mr. Najar,

    Both types of traverse surveys require accurate (or assumed) coordinates for the first and last points surveyed.

    The loop traverse used one point for both functions.

    An open traverse uses two.

    Otherwise they are identical.

    A closed traverse is one that creates a closed polygon in shape and must be adjusted mathematically to make the geometry of the polygon true. An open traverse begins on a vector with two known coordinates that establish a control bearing and closes on one as well. The adjustment is made holding the begin and end vector. This traverse is typically a jagged line. Thus open and closed traverse.
    • A closed traverse is one which either closes back upon itself ( a loop traverse ) or one where the relative position of the closing leg is known ~ that is to say, the direction and positions of the two ends of a traverse, which does not close back upon itself, are previously known before beginning the work.  One may adjust out angular and distance errors in this scenario.

      An open traverse is one where the relative position of the closing leg is not previously known when starting the work.  This is the least desirable situation, but may be effective if safeguards are taken ~ for example, closing the horizon on each setup or taking several redundant sets of angles at each setup.  One cannot adjust the open traverse, but must rely upon the care taken in the performance of the work. Running a traverse along a mine gallery is an example of this type of 'open traverse'

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
