  • Publication number: 20230315219
    Abstract: A joystick control system for a refuse vehicle includes multiple joystick input devices, and a single controller. The single controller is configured to receive a user input from one or more of the multiple joystick input devices. The controller is also configured to identify which of the joystick input devices provide the user input. The controller is also configured to generate control signals, in response to receiving the user input, for one or more controllable elements of the refuse vehicle based on which of the joystick input devices provides the user input and the user input. The controller is also configured to provide the control signals to the one or more controllable elements of the refuse vehicle to operate the one or more controllable elements of the refuse vehicle according to the user input.

  • Publication number: 20220258967
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a cab, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and/or the body, and a control system. The lift assembly includes a first arm, a second arm, an implement coupled to the first arm and the second arm, and an actuator positioned to pivot the first arm and the second arm to facilitate repositioning the implement between a plurality of positions. The control system is configured to (i) control a user interface to provide an indication of a current position of the lift assembly, (ii) automatically reposition the lift assembly without requiring operator intervention to accommodate a low clearance environment, and/or (iii) limit a speed of the refuse vehicle in response to the current position not being a transit position.
