1. A method comprising:
- receiving position data signals that are based upon sensing of coupled mobile machines in a first position in which the coupled mobile machines have first orientations relative to one another;
determining geometric information for the coupled mobile machines from the received position data signals; and
outputting control signals based upon the determined geometric information for the coupled mobile machines, the control signals facilitating monitoring and control of operation of the coupled mobile machines.

Abstract
Position data signals based upon sensing of coupled mobile machines in a position in which the coupled mobile machines have first orientations relative to one another are received. The receive position data signals are used to determine geometric information for the coupled mobile machines. Control signals are generated output based upon the determined geometric information for the coupled mobile machines, wherein the control signals facilitate monitoring and control of operation of the coupled mobile machines.
