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 and a second signal responsive to the transmitted signal, the first signal carrying first information indicating a location of a first signal source, the second signal carrying second information indicating a location of a second signal source; and
a controller coupled to the first device, the controller configured to determine a relative position between a first machine and a second machine using a triangulation computation based on the first information and the second information.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a towed implement proximity system, the system comprising: a first device comprising a transceiver, the first device configured to: transmit a signal; receive 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; and a controller coupled to the first device, the controller configured to determine a relative position in three axes between a first machine and a second machine based on the first and second information.
