Podostroiets K. Creation and investigation of a new method for checking geodetic means of measuring equipment

The thesis is devoted to the improvement of metrological control for geodetic measuring instruments by introducing a new method of metrological control (verification, calibration) of total stations that, unlike existing ones, unites procedures for controlling the angles and EDM part of total stations in a single procedure and uses measuring of indirect distances modeled with an optical scheme, which reduces the cost of creating, maintaining and the use of the etalon, as well as improving the measurements accuracy. The influence of destabilizing factors of the external environment on the process of measuring of reference base lines of a geodesic polygon is considered. The method of metrological control of total stations has been further developed, which uses an alternative method of traceability the meter unit from the etalon to working instruments in laboratory conditions, which can simplify the construction of the etalon.
