What is traverse surveying and what are its types?

Traverse surveying involves measuring a series of connected lines forming a framework to locate boundary points and details. It measures lengths and angles of consecutive survey lines. Types include: open traverse (starts and ends at different points, used for route surveys), closed traverse (returns to starting point or connects to known points, allows checking for errors). Traverse computations include latitude and departure calculations to determine coordinates. Used for boundary surveys, route alignment, and control surveys.
