Traverse surveying in the field yields observed angles or directions and length of the traverse sides. Thus, these parameters are used in traverse computations which are performed in a plane rectangular coordinate system. The traverse computations involve calculation of consecutive coordinates of traverse stations, checking in error of closure, determination of the amount of closing error, adjustment of traverse by balancing of consecutive coordinates, calculation of independent coordinates and determination of corrected distances and azimuth of sides.
