Curves are used in transportation routes to gradually change direction between straight segments. There are several types of curves including simple, compound, reverse, and transition curves. A simple circular curve connects two tangents with a single arc, and is defined by its radius or degree. Transition curves provide a gradual transition between tangents and circular curves to avoid abrupt changes in grade or superelevation that could cause vehicles to overturn. There are several methods for laying out circular curves, including using offset distances from the long chord between tangent points or measuring deflection angles from the initial tangent.
Surveying is used at various stages of a construction project from conceptual planning to maintenance. It involves measuring positions and elevations to determine spatial relationships and enable engineering design and construction. Common surveying methods include chain, compass, theodolite, plane table, tachometric, aerial photographic, and remote sensing surveys. Levelling specifically refers to determining relative elevations and is important for engineering works like establishing rail and road alignments and profiles. Key levelling instruments are dumpy level, tilting level, automatic level, and digital level.
Tacheometric surveying uses a tacheometer to determine horizontal and vertical distances through angular measurements. A tacheometer is a theodolite fitted with stadia hairs and an anallatic lens. The tacheometric formula relates the staff intercept, focal length, stadia interval and additive constant to calculate horizontal distances. Methods include stadia, fixed/movable hair, and non-stadia techniques. Determining the tacheometer constant involves measuring distances and staff intervals at stations to solve equations. Errors arise from incorrect stadia intervals or graduations. Tacheometric surveying provides distances in rough terrain but with less precision than other methods.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

2. Theodolite is used to measure the horizontal and vertical angles.
when the objects are at a considerable distance or situated at
a considerable elevation or depression ,it becomes necessary
to measure horizontal and vertical angles more precisely. So
these measurements are taken by an instrument known as a
theodolite.
Theodolite is more precise than magnetic compass.
Magnetic compass measures the angle up to as accuracy of 30’.
However a vernier theodolite measures the angles up to and
accuracy of 10’’, 20”.
There are variety of theodolites
3. The Theodolite is a most accurate surveying
instrument mainly used for :
• Measuring horizontal and vertical angles.
• Locating points on a line.
• Prolonging survey lines.
• Finding difference of level.
• Setting out grades
• Ranging curves
• Tacheometric Survey
4. CLASSIFICATION OF THEODOLITES
Theodolites may be classified as ;
A.
i) Transit Theodolite.
ii) Non Transit Theodolite.
B.
i) Vernier Theodolites.
ii) Micrometer Theodolites.
5. A. Transit Theodolite: A theodolite is called a transit
theodolite when its telescope can be transited i.e revolved
through a complete revolution about its horizontal axis in the
vertical plane,
Non-Transit type, the telescope cannot be transited. They are
inferior in utility and have now become obsolete.
B. Vernier Theodolite: For reading the graduated circle if
verniers are used ,the theodolite is called as a Vernier
Theodolite.
Whereas, if a micrometer is provided to read the graduated
circle the same is called as a Micrometer Theodolite.
Vernier type theodolites are commonly used .
6. Types of Theodolite
There are different types of theodolite available. It
may be classified into three broad categories.
Vernier or Transit Theodolite
Digital Theodolite
Total Station
7. Digital Theodolite
This type of theodolite provides the value of observation directly in viewing
panel. The precision of this type of instrument varies in the order of 1" to 10".
8. Total Station - This is an electronic instrument. In
this instrument, all the parameters required to be
observed during surveying can be obtained .The
value of observation gets displayed in a viewing
panel. The precision of this type of instrument varies
in the order of 0.1" to 10".
11. Parts of a Theodolite
Leveling Head - It is the lowermost part of a theodolite. It
consists of two parallel horizontal plates separated by three
leveling screws.
The lower plate with a large threaded hole in its centre is
called trivet or foot plate. It provides a means to place the
instrument on (tripod) stand and get it screwed. Its central
aperture provides a way for suspending a plumb bob.
The upper plate of the leveling head is called the tribrach . It
contains a tapered bearing at the centre. It has three arms
each carrying a leveling screw. It provides a support for the
upper part of the instrument.
The principal use of levelling head is to provide a means for
levelling the instrument.
12. Parts of a Theodolite
Lower Plate - It is a horizontal circular plate monolithically
constructed with the outer spindle. A scale is engraved at its
bevelled edge with divisions in degrees and minutes
increasing in clockwise direction. It provides the main scale
reading of a horizontal angle and a means to fix / unfix the
whole of the instrument.
Upper Plate - It is a horizontal circular plate monolithically
constructed with the inner spindle. It is fitted with two
diametrically opposite vernier scales designated as A and B.
Functions of upper plates are to support a pair of magnifiers
for the verniers, a pair of plate levels, a pair of support frames
for telescope and a means to fix / unfix the upper plate of the
instrument with its lower plate.
13. Parts of a Theodolite
Plate Levels - A pair of level tubes are placed at right
angles on the upper plate. These are used to make the
vertical axis of the instrument truly vertical i.e., for
leveling of the instrument.
Standard (or A Frame) – Two standards resembling
English letter A, are firmly attached to the upper plate.
The tops of these standards forms a bearing of the pivots
of telescope allowing it to rotate on its trunion axis in
vertical plane. The T frame and arm of vertical circle
clamp are also attached to the standards.
14. Parts of a Theodolite
Vernier FrameAlso called T -frame or index frame, consists of
a vertical leg known as clipping arm and a horizontal bar called
the index arm engraved with verniers C and D at its ends. Each of
the verniers at C and D are having two scales which increases in
opposite directions. It is used as seat for altitude bubble and also
provides vernier reading for vertical angle measurement
15. Parts of a Theodolite
Telescope – the function of telescope is to provide line
of sight. The length of telescope varies from 100mm to
175mm. Most of the theodolites have internal focusing
telescope.
Vertical Circle - The vertical circle is attached with the
trunnion axis. It is engraved with a scale reading vertical
angle in degrees and minutes. The vertical circle is
divided into four quadrants each reading 0° to 90° with
0° - 0° either along vertical or in horizontal. It provides
the main scale reading for vertical angle.
Altitude Bubble - A sensitive level tube placed on
vernier frame is called altitude bubble. It is used to make
horizontal axis truly horizontal.
16. Parts of a Theodolite
Screws - A theodolite instrument has number of
screws as its component parts. These are classified
into different types depending on their functions.
Levelling Screws
Clamp Screws
Tangent Screws
17. Parts of a Theodolite
Leveling ScrewsThese are present in the leveling head
of a theodolite in between trivet and tribrach. These work
in threaded holes in the tribrach arms and their lower
ends rest in recesses in the trivet. These screws are used
for leveling the instrument i.e., to make plate level axis
truly horizontal.
Clamp screwsThese are used to fix the parts of a
theodolite with which these are attached.
Lower Plate Clamp Screw
Upper Plate Clamp Screw
Vertical plate Clamp Screw
18. Parts of a Theodolite
Lower plate Clamp Screw - The clamp screw attached to the lower plate of a theodolite is
called lower plate clamp screw. When it is tightened, the outer spindle gets fixed with the
tribrach, and, thus, the lower plate gets fixed in position.
Upper plate Clamp Screw - The clamp screw attached with the upper plate of a theodolite
is called upper plate clamp screw. When it is tightened, the inner spindle gets fixed with the
outer spindle and, thus, the upper plate gets fixed in position.
The manipulation of the upper plate and lower plate clamp screws provide three conditions:
When both the upper plate clamp screw and the lower plate clamp screw are tightened, the
instrument gets fully fixed.
When the upper plate clamp screw is tightened and the lower plate clamp screw is opened,
the instrument rotates on its outer axis, There is no relative motion between the two plate and
the readings in the horizontal vernier scales do not change.
When the lower plate clamp screw is tightened, and the upper plate is opened, the instrument
rotates on the inner axis with outer axis fixed. The readings in the horizontal vernier scales
change.
Vertical plate Clamp Screw - It is used to clamp the telescope in any plane and hence at
any desired vertical angle.
19. Parts of a Theodolite
Tangent Screws - With each clamping screw, there is a
tangent screw present in the instrument to provide fine
movement. The tangent screws work only after its clamping
screws get tightened. Thus when the upper clamp screw has
been tightened, small movement of the upper plate can be
made by the upper tangent screw; when the lower clamp
screw has been tightened, small movement of the lower plate
can be made by the lower tangent screw and similarly for
vertical clamp screw.
Tripod Stand - The theodolite is mounted on a strong tripod
when being used in the field. The legs of the tripod are solid or
framed. At the lower ends of the legs, pointed steel shoes are
provided to get them pushed into ground. The tripod head has
male screws on which the trivet of the leveling head is
screwed.
20. Terms associated with measurement with
theodolite
Centering – the process of setting up a theodolite on a
ground station is known as centering.
Vertical axis – this the axis about which the instrument
rotates in horizontal plane
Horizontal axis – it is the axis about which the telescope
along with vertical circle rotates in vertical plane. It is
known as trunnion axis.
Line of collimation – the line passing through the
intersection of cross hairs of diaphragms and optical
centers of objective is known as line of collimation.
Axis of plate level tube – it is a straight line tangential to
longitudinal curve of the plate level tube at its centre.
21. Terms associated with measurement with
theodolite
Face left observation while taking the reading if the
verical circle is towards the left of the observer, it is
called face left observation.
Face right observation – while taking readings if the
vertical circle is towards the right of the observer
then it is called face right observation (this condition
is also called telescope inverted condition)
Transiting or plunging the telescope- The process of
turning the telescope through 180 degree in vertical
plane is known as transiting or plunging of
theodolite.
22. Terms associated with measurement with
theodolite
Changing the face – the operation of bringing the
vertical circle from left to right or vice versa is called
changing the face.
Swinging the telescope – the process of rotating the
telescope about vertical axis is called swinging
telescope.
A set of observations – finding of horizontal
observation once with face right observation and
other with face left observation is called one set of
observation.
23. FUNDEMENTAL AXES OF THEODOLITE
I. Vertical axis
II. Trunnion axis
III. Line of collimation
IV. Altitude level axis
V. Axis of plate level
A theodolite is said to be in proper condition if the following
conditions are satisfied:
I. The axis of the plate is perpendicular to the vertical axis
II. The trunnion axis is perpendicular to the vertical axis
III. The line of collimation is perpendicular to the trunnion axis
IV. The axis of the altitude level is parallel to the line of
collimation
24.
25. Temporary Adjustment of Vernier
Theodolite
At each station point, before taking any observation,
it is required to carry out some operations in
sequence. The set of operations those are required to
be done on an instrument in order to make it ready
for taking observation is known as temporary
adjustment. Temporary adjustment of a vernier
theodolite consists of following operations:
Setting,
Centring,
Leveling and
Focussing.
26. Setting
The setting operation consists of fixing the theodolite
with the tripod stand along with approximate leveling
and centring over the station. For setting up the
instrument, the tripod is placed over the station with its
legs widely spread so that the centre of the tripod head
lies above the station point and its head approximately
level (by eye estimation). The instrument is then fixed
with the tripod by screwing through trivet. The height of
the instrument should be such that observer can see
through telescope conveniently. After this, a plumb bob
is suspended from the bottom of the instrument and it
should be such that plumb bob should point near to the
station mark.
27. Centring
The operation involved in placing the vertical axis of the instrument exactly
over the station mark is known as centring. First, the approximate centring
of the instrument is done by moving the tripod legs radially or
circumferentially as per need of the circumstances.
It may be noted that due to radial movement of the legs, plumb bob gets
shifted in the direction of the movement of the leg without seriously
affecting the level of the instrument. On the other hand, when the legs are
moved side ways or circumferentially, the plumb does not shift much but
the level gets affected. Sometimes, the instrument and the tripod have to be
moved bodily for centring. It must be noted that the centering and leveling
of instrument is done recursively. Finally, exact centring is done by using
the shifting head of the instrument. During this, first the screw-clamping
ring of the shifting head is loosened and the upper plate of the shifting head
is slid over the lower one until the plumb bob is exactly over the station
mark. After the exact centring, the screw clamping ring gets tightened.
28. LevelingLeveling of an instrument is done to make the vertical axis of the
instrument truly vertical. Generally, there are three leveling screws and two plate
levels are present in a theodolite instrument. Thus, leveling is being achieved by
carrying out the following steps
Step 1: Bring one of the level tube parallel to any two of the foot screws, by rotating
the upper part of the instrument.
Step 2: The bubble is brought to the centre of the level tube by rotating both the
foot screws either inward or outward. The bubble moves in the same direction as the
left thumb.
Step 3: The bubble of the other level tube is then brought to the centre of the level
tube by rotating the third foot screw either inward or outward. [In step 1 itself, the
other plate level will be parallel to the line joining the third foot screw and the centre
of the line joining the previous two foot screws.]
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 and step 3 in the same quadrant till both the bubble remain
central.
Step 5: By rotating the upper part of the instrument through 180°, the level tube is
brought parallel to first two foot screws in reverse order. The bubble will remain in
the centre if the instrument is in permanent adjustment.
Otherwise, repeat the whole process starting from step1 to step5.
29.
30. Focusing
To obtain the clear reading, the image formed by the
objective lens should fall in the plane of diaphragm
and the focus of eye-piece should also be at the plane
of diaphragm. This is being carried out by removing
parallax by proper focusing of objective and eye-
piece. Thus, focusing operation involves two steps:
Focusing of the eye-piece lens
Focusing of the objective lens
31. Focusing of Eye-piece
The eye-piece is focused to make the appearance of
cross hairs distinct and clear. This is being carried
out in steps: First, point the telescope towards the
sky or hold a sheet of white paper in front of the
objective; Next, move the eye-piece in or out by
rotating it gradually until the cross hairs appear
quite sharp and clear.
Focusing of eye-piece depends on the eye-sight of
observer and so for each observer it needs to
adjusted accordingly.
32. Focusing of Objective It is done for each
independent observation to bring the image of the
object in the plane of cross hairs. It includes
following steps of operation: First, direct the
telescope towards the object for observation. Next,
turn the focusing screw until the image of the object
appears clear and sharp as the observer looks
through properly focused eye-piece. If focusing has
been done properly, there will be no parallax i.e.,
there will be no apparent movement of the image
relative to the cross hairs if the observer moves his
eye from one side to the other or from top to bottom.
33. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTALANGLES:
There are three methods of measuring horizontal angles:-
i) Ordinary Method.
ii) Repetition Method.
iii) Reiteration Method.
34. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLES:
i) Ordinary Method. To measure horizontal angle AOB:-
i) Set up the theodolite at station point O
and level it accurately.
ii) Set the vernier A to the zero or 3600 of
the horizontal circle. Tighten the
upper clamp.
iii) Loosen the lower clamp. Turn the
instrument and direct the telescope
towards A to bisect it accurately with
the use of tangent screw. After
bisecting accurately check the reading
which must still read zero. Read the
vernier B and record both the
readings.

A B
HORIZONTAL ANGLE AOB
35. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTALANGLES:
iv) Loosen the upper clamp and turn the
telescope clockwise until line of sight
bisects point B on the right hand side.
Then tighten the upper clamp and
bisect it accurately by turning its
tangent screw.
v) Read both verniers. The reading of the
vernier a which was initially set at
zero gives the value of the angle AOB
directly and that of the other vernier
B by deducting 1800 .The mean of the
two vernier readings gives the value of
the required angle AOB.
o
A B
HORIZONTAL ANGLE AOB
36. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLES:
i) Ordinary Method. To measure horizontal angle AOB:-
vi) Change the face of the instrument
and repeat the whole process. The
mean of the two vernier readings gives
the second value of the angle AOB
which should be approximately or
exactly equal to the previous value.
vii) The mean of the two values of the
angle AOB ,one with face left and the
other with face right ,gives the
required angle free from all
instrumental errors.

37. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTALANGLES:
ii) Repetition Method.
This method is used for very accurate
work. In this method ,the same angle
is added several times mechanically
and the correct value of the angle is
obtained by dividing the accumulated
reading by the no. of repetitions.
The No. of repetitions made usually in
this method is six, three with the face
left and three with the face right .In
this way ,angles can be measured to a
finer degree of accuracy than that
obtainable with the least count of the
vernier.

38. MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTALANGLES:
ii) Repetition Method.
To measure horizontal angle by
repetitions:-
i) Set up the theodolite at starting point
O and level it accurately.
ii) Measure The horizontal angle AOB.
iii) Loosen the lower clamp and turn the
telescope clock – wise until the object
(A) is sighted again. Bisect B
accurately by using the upper tangent
screw. The verniers will now read the
twice the value of the angle now.

This method is another precise and
comparatively less tedious method
of measuring the horizontal angles.
It is generally preferred when
several angles are to be measured
at a particular station.
This method consists in measuring
several angles successively and
finally closing the horizon at the
starting point. The final reading of
the vernier A should be same as its
initial reading.

occurs due to slip etc.
vi) If the error is small, it is equally
distributed among the several angles .If

and a new set of readings be taken.
43. MEASUREMENT OF VERTICAL ANGLES:

inclined line of sight and the horizontal. It may be an
angle of elevation or depression according as the object is
above or below the horizontal plane.

To Measure the Vertical Angle of an object A at a station O:
(i) Set up the theodolite at station point O and level it
accurately with reference to the altitude bubble.

reads zero.
(v) Loosen the vertical circle clamp screw and direct the
telescope towards the object A and sight it exactly by using
the vertical circle tangent screw.
45. MEASUREMENT OF VERTICAL ANGLES:
(v) Read both verniers on the vertical circle, The mean of
the two vernier readings gives the value of the required
angle.
(vi) Change the face of the instrument and repeat the
process. The mean of of the two vernier readings gives the
second value of the required angle.
(vii) The average of the two values of the angles thus
obtained, is the required value of the angle free from
instrumental errors.
46. MEASUREMENT OF VERTICAL ANGLES:
For measuring Vertical Angle between two points A &B
i) Sight A as before , and take the mean of the two vernier
readings at the vertical circle. Let it be α
ii) Similarly, sight B and take the mean of the two vernier
readings at the vertical circle. Let it be
iii) The sum or difference of these readings will give the value of
the vertical angle between A and B according as one of the points
is above and the other below the horizontal plane. or both points
are on the same side of the horizontal plane Fig b & c
