Abstract: A method of augmenting a mobile radio positioning system (Mobile_ RADPS) (10) by using a stationary fan laser transmitter (18). A rover (12) comprises the mobile radio positioning system (Mobile_RADPS) (14) integrated with a mobile laser detector (16). The stationary fan laser transmitter (18) is integrated with a stationary radio positioning system (Stationary_RADPS) (20). The method comprises the following steps: (A) generating a single sloping fan beam (22) by the stationary fan laser transmitter (18); (B) detecting the single sloping fan beam (22) generated by the stationary fan laser transmitter (18) by using the mobile laser detector (16); and (C) timing the fan laser beam (22) strike at the rover's location and using the timing of the fan laser beam (22) strike at the rover's location to improve an accuracy in determination of position coordinates of the rover (12).
