Patent number: 11521385Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a body defining a refuse compartment, a refuse collection arm configured to engage and lift a refuse container, an object detection system configured to provide object detection data relating to locations of objects relative to the refuse vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to use the object detection data to determine if the refuse container is present within an aligned zone relative to the refuse vehicle. The aligned zone represents a range of locations in which the refuse collection arm is capable of engaging the refuse container. In response to a determination that the refuse container has been detected by the object detection system but is not within the aligned zone, the controller is configured to provide instructions to an operator that, when performed by the operator, cause the refuse vehicle to move such that the refuse container enters the aligned zone.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Grant Wildgrube, Zhenyi Wei, Cody D.
