A system for determining a total machine turning angle of a construction equipment having a front frame articulatable with respect to a rear frame, the front frame including a steering apparatus and the rear frame including a traction device, the construction equipment having a wheelbase, the system including: a first inertial motion unit disposed on the front frame or the rear frame, the first inertial motion unit providing a front frame yaw rate if disposed on the front frame or a rear frame yaw rate if disposed on the rear frame; a machine speed sensor providing a machine speed of the construction equipment; and a controller for receiving as inputs the wheelbase, machine speed, and either the front frame yaw rate or the rear frame yaw rate, and outputting the total machine turning angle based on the wheelbase, the machine speed, and either the front or rear frame yaw rate.
