Abstract: A traverse-type measurement method for a dual-system bilateral-survey composite level (A, B) is an intelligent traverse-type measurement method for integrated three-level error control loop inspection with the dual-system bilateral survey compound level (A, B). Specifically, survey station single-instrument inspection, survey station dual-instrument cross-inspection, and multi-survey station dual-instrument cumulative cross-inspection are adopted, and the number of observations and distance between survey stations are adjusted, such that measurement error is dynamically controlled in real time, ensuring that height difference measurement of survey stations and of measurement sections meets a preset precision requirement regardless of location or time, avoiding the invalid measurements that frequently occur with traditional levels, and improving working efficiency and economic benefit of the composite level.
