A tank trailer includes a tank having an outer surface face and an inner surface and a central longitudinal vertical plane extending between the first end and the second end. The outer surface faces away from the central longitudinal vertical plane and the inner surface faces towards the central longitudinal vertical plane. The outer surface and the inner surface define an interior volume adapted to be filled with material. The tank trailer may further include a set of ground-engaging wheels supporting the tank trailer from below, a bar positioned proximate the outer surface of the tank and a light source provided on the bar. The tank may further include a frame member operatively engaged with the bar and a sheet material extending between the bar and the frame member. The frame member is movable between a first position and a second position.

METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR ASSISTING CONTROL OF FOREST WORK MACHINE
20210321552 · 2021-10-21 ·

The invention relates to a method and forest work machine (1) making use of it, by means of which the control of the forest work machine is assisted. In the forest work machine, a light source (2) is adapted, which may be directed to one or more different parts of the surroundings around it, forming the working area of the forest work machine. This is adapted to produce at least one specifically defined specified-form light pattern (3) on said working area. With such a light pattern, visual information content may be produced on the working area to support an operator of the forest work machine in their work. As content of such information, it is possible to define control measures for the forest work machine, performed in any working area or their restrictions.

REFUSE VEHICLE WITH SPATIAL AWARENESS

A refuse vehicle comprising a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, the body assembly defining a refuse compartment, one or more sensors coupled to the body and configured to provide data relating to the presence of an obstacle within an area near the refuse vehicle, a controller configured to receive the data from the one or more sensors, determine, using an obstacle detector and the data, the presence of an obstacle within the area and initiate a control action, wherein the control action includes at least one of controlling the movement of the refuse vehicle, controlling the movement of a lift assembly attached to the body assembly, or generating an alert.

LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A REFUSE VEHICLE

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.

According to some implementations, a magnetic sensor may include a communication device; a magnetic switch; and a controller configured to: determine whether the magnetic switch is actuated by a magnet associated with the bucket tooth; generate, based on determining whether the magnetic switch is actuated, a message concerning an attachment status of the bucket tooth; and cause the communication device to wirelessly transmit the message.

Systems and methods for autonomous vehicles with lighting control

An autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle comprises a chassis, two or more drive wheels extending below the chassis, a drive motor housed within the chassis for driving the drive wheels, and a payload surface on top of the chassis for carrying a payload. An illumination system, for emitting light from at least one portion of the chassis, is mounted substantially around the entire perimeter of the chassis. The illumination system may be implemented using an array of light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) that are arranged as segments. For example, there may be “headlight” segments on the front left and front right corners of the chassis.
