Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a body, an electric power take-off system, and a disconnect. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is supported by the chassis and defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the refuse vehicle, and includes a motor that is configured to drive a hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. The disconnect is positioned between the energy storage device and the electric power take-off system and is configured to selectively decouple the electric power take-off system from the energy storage device.

Abstract: A thermal monitor control system for a refuse vehicle includes a plurality of onboard devices including a first onboard device and a second onboard device, a plurality of sensors including a first sensor configured to collect a first data set and a second sensor configured to collect a second data, and a processing circuit configured to receive the first data set from the first sensor and the second data set from the second sensor, define a normal operating profile, receive a third data set from the first senor and a fourth data set from the second sensor, compare the third data set and the fourth data set to the normal operating profile, and cause the onboard messaging system to display the alert to the operator in response to determining that the third data set or the fourth data set differs from the normal operating profile.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a lock, a tailgate, an ejector, an actuator, a second actuator, and a processor. The body defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The lock is coupled to the body and is configured to releasably secure a movable tailgate. The receptacle contains the ejector. The ejector can transition from a first position that is spaced from the tailgate to a second position proximate the tailgate. The actuator is configured to transition the ejector from the first position to the second position. The second actuator is configured to move the tailgate. The processor is configured to selectively unlock the tailgate and transition the ejector from the first position to the second position in response to receiving a single input to thereby eject refuse from the receptacle without receiving multiple inputs.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a vehicle body supported by the chassis, a lift assembly, and a projector. The vehicle body defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The lift assembly is configured to selectively engage a waste container. The lift assembly is movable between a first position and a second position. The projector is positioned to emit light outwardly away from the refuse vehicle and proximate the lift assembly to define a target area.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a first energy storage device, a body, an electric power take-off system, and a subsystem coupled to the body and moveable using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system. The first energy storage device (e.g., a battery) is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body is configured for storing refuse, and is supported by the chassis. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the body and includes an electric motor, a second energy storage device configured to provide electric power to the electric motor, and a hydraulic pump that is drive by the electric motor. The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump to convert the electrical power into hydraulic power.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a vehicle body, an electric power take-off system, and a hydraulic component. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The vehicle body is supported by the chassis, and includes an on-board receptacle for storing refuse therein. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the vehicle body, and includes an electric motor configured to drive a hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. An amount of electrical power at least one of received by and provided to the electric motor is limited by a controller to control an output characteristic of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic component is in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump and configured to operate using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to generate a route, control a drone to surveil an area along the route, generate, from a sensor on the drone, status data for one or more refuse containers, analyze the status data to determine a status of refuse within the area, provide a notification to a customer based on the status of refuse, repeat surveillance to determine if the status of refuse has changed, generate a revised route in response to determining that the status of refuse has changed, and update a customer bill in response to determining that the status of refuse has changed.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a polymeric microparticle containing silicone release composition having improved slip/shear, anti-block, transfer, and lower release properties. The silicone release composition may be formed of thermal or radiation cured solventless silicone release compositions. The silicone release composition may also be formed of a UV-cationic silicone release composition. The polymeric microparticles are preferably polymeric microspheres. The invention is further directed to the use of such microparticle containing silicone release compositions to coat a substrate, and release coated substrates formed thereof.
