GEO 311E - Geodetic Infrast. and Network

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to provide the students to gain the ability of planning,
measuring, establishing, and calculating global, regional, local, and particular
networks.

Course Description

In this course, geodetic datum, geodetic reference networks: global, local, and
national networks, National Basic Geodetic networks: triangulation, leveling and
gravitational network concepts with the creating the national networks using
classical terrestrial and space techniques, horizontal control network: design,
establishment, measurement, adjustment using classical methods, densification of
horizontal control networks, particular densification applications (resection etc.),
vertical datum, triangulation network, vertical control network: design,
establishment, measurement, adjustment, and densification of vertical control
networks are focused. Subjects such as Turkish gravitational network: features,
measurements, and adjustment, ED-50, WGS-84, definition and transformation of
ITRF systems and datum, TUD-54, TUDKA-99, TTGA-99 and GNSS networks,
TUTGA-99, TUSAGA-Active and their functions in practice are the other subjects
of the course.
