What is tacheometry?? • Easy and cheap method of collecting much topographic data. • Tachymetry (or tacheometry) also called “stadia surveying” in countries like England and the United States • means “fast measurement”; rapid and efficient way of indirectly measuring distances and elevation differences
Tacheometry • Concept • Determine distances indirectly using triangle geometry • Methods • Stadia • Establish constant angle and measure length of opposite side • Length increases with distance from angle vertex
Stadia System • The theodolite/auto level is directed at the level staff • the distance is measured by reading the top and bottom stadia hairs on the telescope view.
Measurement • Electronic Tacheometry: • Uses a total station which contains an EDM, able to read distance by reflecting off a prism. • Subtense Bar system: • An accurate theodolite, reading to 1" of arc, is directed at a staff, two pointings being made and the small subtended angle measured
Equipment • Measurement can be taken with theodolites, transits and levels and stadia rods • While in the past, distances were measured by the “surveyor’s chain” or tape • This can be done easier and faster using a telescope equipped with stadia hairlines in combination with a stadia rod (auto level and staff)

Stadia Equations • From similar triangles • Horizontal sights • Inclined sights
Constant determination • In practice, the multiplicative constant generally equals 100 and the additive constant equals zero. • This is certainly the case with modern instruments by may not always be so with older Theodolites. • The values are usually given by the makers but this is not always the case. • It is sometimes necessary to measure them in an old or unfamiliar instrument. • The simplest way, both for external and internal focusing instruments, is to regard the basic formula as being a linear one of the form: D = C.S + K
For example: D =C.S + K 30.00 = 0.300 * C + K 90.00 = 0.900 * C + K therefore C = 100 & K = 0 • Any combination of equations gives the same result, showing that the telescope is anallatic over this range, to all intents and purposes.
Case of inclined sights • Vertical elevation angle: ө S h L V B ө ∆L hi A D
L = C S cos Ө + K , D = L cos Ө Then ; D = CS cos2Ө + K cos Ө ; V = L sin Ө = ( C S cos Ө + K ) sin Ө = 1/2 C S sin 2Ө + K sin Ө ; ∆L = h i + V – h = R.L. of B - R.L. of A ; Where : h is the mid hair reading
Vertical depression angle: ө hi V A S ∆L h B D
D = CS cos2Ө + K cos Ө ; = 1/2 C S sin 2Ө + K sin Ө ; ∆L = - h i + V + h = R.L. of A - R.L. of B ; Where : h is the mid hair reading ; Ө may be elevation or depression
Example From point D three points A, B and C have been observed as follows: If the reduced level of D is 150.10 m. , hi = 1.40 m. and the tacheometeric constant = 100 , find: i) the horizontal distance to the staff points and their reduced levels. ii) distance AB , BC , and CA.

Electronic Tacheometry (Total Station) • The stadia procedure is used less and less often these days, more commonly geomatic engineers use a combination theodolite-EDM known in jargon as a total station. • Often these instruments are connected to a field computer which stores readings and facilitates the processing of the data electronically.
Electronic Tacheometry • This instrumentation has facilitated the development of this method of detail and contour surveying into a very slick operation. • It is now possible to produce plans of large areas that previously would have taken weeks, in a matter of days. • The math's behind the operation is very simple, it is in effect the same as the stadia formulae with the term for the distance replaced by the measured slope distance.

Tacheometry Field Procedure • Set up the instrument (Theodolite) at a reference point • Read upper, middle, and lower hairs. • Release the rodperson for movement to the next point. • Read and record the horizontal angle (azimuth). • Read and record the vertical angle (zenith).
Error Sources • There are 4 main sources of error: • Staff Readings • Tilt of the Staff • Vertical Angle • Horizontal Angle
