Abstract

Abstract : Since gyro azimuths are affected by the complex environmental factors that are present in underground spaces, the adjustment model should take this into account. In general, gyro azimuths are considered to be errorless or equal precision observations in the adjustment model, which leads to the overestimation or underestimation of the weight of the gyro azimuths. To improve the precision of underground networks, measured with a magnetic levitation gyroscope, an adjustment for the survey network with individually weighted gyro observations is proposed. The proposed method was tested on an equivalent mock-up network of the tunnels associated with the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The lateral breakthrough error and lateral standard deviation at the breakthrough point were calculated and compared. Our result shows that the lateral breakthrough error was 4.8 mm with the precision change ratio of 64.5% which suggested that the proposed method is able to improve the precision of the breakthrough point.
