What is traversing in engineering survey?

Traversing is the process of measuring the length and direction (bearing) of the sides of a traverse. 

A traverse is a series of successive straight lines that are connected. They can be closed or open. A closed traverse can be easily checked for accuracy because they either A. begin and end at the same point or B. Begin and end at known points, provided both the starting and finishing point use the same coordinate system. The boundary lines of a piece of property are a good example of a closed traverse. An open traverse can not be checked for accuracy and are normally used for exploratory purposes.
