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
![Page 3: LOGO ERT247/4 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING TACHEOMETRY MS SITI KAMARIAH MD SA ’ AT LECTURER SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING sitikamariah@unimap.edu.my](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ed3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Figure 1 shows the set-up of a tachymetric measurement.

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.
![Page 6: LOGO ERT247/4 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING TACHEOMETRY MS SITI KAMARIAH MD SA ’ AT LECTURER SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING sitikamariah@unimap.edu.my](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ed3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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
![Page 7: LOGO ERT247/4 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING TACHEOMETRY MS SITI KAMARIAH MD SA ’ AT LECTURER SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING sitikamariah@unimap.edu.my](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ed3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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)

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
Constant determination
![Page 13: LOGO ERT247/4 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING TACHEOMETRY MS SITI KAMARIAH MD SA ’ AT LECTURER SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING sitikamariah@unimap.edu.my](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ed3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
For example:
D =C.S + K30.00 = 0.300 * C + K90.00 = 0.900 * C + Ktherefore 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.

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.
![Page 31: LOGO ERT247/4 GEOMATICS ENGINEERING TACHEOMETRY MS SITI KAMARIAH MD SA ’ AT LECTURER SCHOOL OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING sitikamariah@unimap.edu.my](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bf9d1a28abf838c93ed3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
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.
