Pacing provides a
convenient means of
obtaining
approximate distances
which is quite useful in
surveying. It can be used
to obtain a rough check
on more accurate
measurements made with
a
tape.

II. OBJECTIVES
[Link] determine Individual pace factor.
[Link] measure distance by pacing
[Link] AND ACCESSORIES
Range poles
Steel tape
Markers
IV. PROCEDURE
[Link] PACE FACTOR
a. Select a straight and level course and, on both ends, establish
markers at least ___ meters apart. Designate these end points as A and
B.
b. Walk over the course at a natural pace or gait starting with either heel
or toe over point A and count the number of paces to reach point B.
c. For succeeding trials, walk from B to A, Then A to B, until 7 trials are
completed and the number of paces recorded accordingly.
d. Tabulate.
e. To compute for the pace factor, get the average of the number of
paces and then divide this to the taped length of course AB.
2. MEASURING DISTANCE BY PACING.
a. Define or establish the end points of another level course whose
length is to be determined by pacing. Designate these end points as B
and C.
b. For the first trial, walk over the course from B to C at a natural pace
and record the number of paces. Then walk from C to B and again
record the number of paces.
C. Repeat the above procedure until all seven trials are completed.
d. After the field data is recorded, make an actual taping of the course
BC to determine the taped distance
e. Tabulate
f. To compute for the paced distance, get the mean of the number of
paces for the seven trials performed on course BC and multiply this to
the pace factor previously computed
g. To get the relative precision, determine the difference between the
taped distance of BC and the paced distance of BC. Then, divide the
difference by the taped distance of BC and the paced distance of BC.
Then, divide the difference by the taped distance and reduce the
numerator to unity to determine the relative precision.
