The standard displacement error (sigma) of a geodetic station in tunneling in a
direction normal to the axis of the tunnel (lateral error). This error describes tunnel
breakthrough error (offset), and can be used in tunnel geodetic network pre-analysis.
Vectorized.
Version: 13 Jun 22
Input: n - the number of the traverse legs
s - the length of the open tunnel traverse [meter]
sigma_angle- the standard deviation (uncertainty) of angle measurements [radians]
Output: sigma - standard error (sigma) of a geodetic station in the tunnel [meter]
