Control Network Adjustment Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Control errors stay hidden until the final check, and then the whole job suffers. This agent reads the raw observations, such as angles, distances and GNSS vectors, and runs a least squares adjustment. It checks residuals and error ellipses, flags blunders and weak geometry, and recommends which observations to repeat. After new data arrives, it reruns the adjustment and checks again. It continues until the network meets your standard. You approve the adjusted values. Edge case: one distance has a residual 5 times the others because the prism height was entered wrong, and the agent identifies it.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags observations with residuals above the test limit, starting with the largest. It never removes data without recommending a re-observation.

  • Flag residuals above 3 times the standard error (default)
  • Weak geometry gets a recommended extra observation
  • Never delete an observation without a repeat
  • The reference variance must be near 1 (default 0.5 to 1.5)

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Standard error limits
  • Blunder test limit (default 3 times)
  • Variance range
  • Software
  • Re-observation rule

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Re-observation plan
  • Adjusted values

Hard limits

  • Never removes data on its own
  • Never certifies values
  • Keeps every adjustment run

It stops when

  • Done: network meets the standard
  • Stop: network cannot meet the standard; surveyor redesigns the control

An example run

What happensA 12 point network showed a distance residual of 0.062 ft against a 0.012 ft standard error, and a weak angle at point 7. The agent traced the distance to a prism height of 5.5 instead of 5.0 ft. The surveyor corrected it, but the variance was still 2.1, so the check failed. A repeat of two angles brought it to 1.1.
