Sensor unit system

A method for providing mobile construction device location data, said method comprising:

• coupling a point-to-point radio ranging system of a sensor unit with a mobile construction device;
• coupling a position determining component with said point-to-point radio ranging system, said position determining component configured for determining a position of said sensor unit in at least two dimensions based on communications between said point-to-point radio ranging system and a plurality of tags respectively located at a plurality of knowable locations within an operating environment of said mobile construction device;
• and
• communicatively coupling a communications link controller with said position determining component, said communications link controller configured for providing information, including said sensor unit position, to a receiving unit located apart from said sensor unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer executable code for directing a processor to execute a method for providing mobile construction device location data, said method comprising:

• receiving communications between a point-to-point radio ranging system coupled with a sensor unit of a mobile construction device and a plurality of tags respectively located at a plurality of knowable locations within an operating environment of said mobile construction device;
• using a position determining component coupled with said point-to-point radio ranging system to determine a position of said sensor unit in at least two dimensions;
• and
• providing information, including said sensor unit position, to a receiving unit located apart from said sensor unit using a communications link controller communicatively coupled with said position determining component.
