Publication number: 20240042962Abstract: A vehicle includes a cabin, a brake, a vehicle subsystem, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive an indication that an operator is attempting to exit the cabin and automatically engage the brake in response to the indication to prevent movement of the vehicle. The vehicle subsystem remains operational while the brake is engaged.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: David W. Archer, Neil Bjornstad, Michael J. Holeton, Patrick D. Martin
