ARTICULATED MACHINE PROXIMITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An articulated machine proximity system, the system comprising:
- a first device comprising a transceiver, the first device configured to—
transmit a signal, andreceive a first signal at a first angle and a second signal at a second angle responsive to the transmitted signal, the first and second signals comprising first information and second information, respectively, the first and second information each corresponding to respective positional information, anda controller coupled to the first device, the controller configured to determine a relative position between a first machine and a second machine based on the first and second information.
