Features: Highway surveying is a highly practical applied discipline. In addition to comprehensively introducing conventional surveying instruments and techniques and their applications in highway construction surveying, this book focuses on introducing relatively advanced surveying instruments of the present day, such as electronic theodolites, electronic levelers, total stations, and the applications of the GPS global satellite positioning system in highway surveying. In terms of surveying methods, it moves beyond conventional approaches, emphasizing the methods of establishing control networks using the GPS global satellite positioning system and total stations. In terms of computational methods, tailored calculation programs are provided for typical surveying computations, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of calculations. This book can serve as a teaching text for civil engineering programs and is also a valuable reference for design professionals and technicians in related fields.
