  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230348183
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle that includes a chassis and a body assembly. The body assembly is removably coupled with the chassis. The body assembly includes a hydraulic system and an electrical system. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump and a reservoir, the hydraulic pump and the reservoir coupled with the body assembly. The electrical system includes a controller coupled with the body assembly. The body assembly is configured to be removed from the chassis without requiring decoupling of the hydraulic pump or the reservoir from the body assembly, and without requiring decoupling of the controller from the body assembly.
