Spatial Coordinate Optimization of Permanent Landmarks Network

What is it about?

The aim of this paper is to optimize the locating terminals coordinates of the points of our faculty, initially determined using GPS technology. Additional measurements were performed in an interval of one year using a total station. Following these two rounds of measurements of the locating terminals coordinates of the network points of the faculty using GPS technology combined with the classical planimetric surveying method, we got a new set of coordinates with a higher degree of determination accuracy after averaging the results.

Why is it important?

Setting-up a topographic reference network in order to increase the efficiency of the students classes is a necessity to develop the quality of learning which will substantially contribute to the understanding of the utility of the Surveying discipline which was considered (until recently) less important by all stakeholders in the educational process. Taking into account the signals received from employers who understand the importance of specific knowledge, it is considered to be vital the approaching of the studied cases in order to be near the real problems from the sites where the future engineer is often put in difficulty. This happens because students lack the responsibility of working with the real values of coordinate’s points from different applications being almost impossible to verify the final results with values of existing points. So have been created the premises for the existence of such local networks in our faculty, which is almost non-existent in the universities of our country, as well as modern and sustainable working resources with the possibility to check at any time applications made within a discipline focused mainly on practice engineering in the field of house construction.
