  • REFUSE VEHICLE WITH ADVANCED DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20250122010
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled to a wheel, a body assembly coupled to the chassis and defining a refuse compartment, a lift assembly, a user interface including a display, and a vehicle control system having a sensor and a controller in communication with the lift assembly, the user interface, and the sensor. The controller including a processor and at least one memory and is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor, determine, based on the sensor data, that the lift assembly is in a collection mode, and update the user interface to display a collection view on the display.

  • Refuse vehicle with advanced driver-assistance system
    Patent number: 12202669
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled a wheel, a motor configured to drive the wheel, a body assembly coupled to the chassis and defining a refuse compartment, a lift assembly, and a vehicle control system having a sensor integrated into the body assembly and a controller in communication with the lift assembly and the sensor. The controller includes a processor and at least one memory and is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor, the sensor data indicating a potential event, receive control data indicating a state the lift assembly, and compare the sensor data to the control data to determine if the potential event is a false event associated with the state of the lift assembly or an actual event.
