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.

REFUSE VEHICLE WITH AUTONOMOUS FUNCTION USAGE TRACKING

A computer-implemented method involves receiving an auxiliary function dataset with parameters from a completed auxiliary function cycle, determining a cycle mode based on the parameters, and updating an auxiliary function tracker accordingly. The method is executed by one or more processors, enabling efficient tracking and management of auxiliary functions within a system. By analyzing the parameters of the completed cycle, the processors can identify the cycle mode and adjust the auxiliary function tracker to reflect the current state of the system.

CONTAINER ASSEMBLY HAVING RESIDENTIAL REFUSE BIN WASHER SYSTEM FOR A FRONT LOAD REFUSE COLLECTION VEHICLE
20250326576 · 2025-10-23 ·

A container assembly having a residential refuse bin washer system for a front load refuse collection vehicle, the container assembly including a base, a receptacle connected to the base and having side walls, a bottom wall and a drain, the drain being in fluid connection with at least one fluid tank, at least one spray conduit having a distal end extending above the bottom wall, the at least one spray conduit being in fluid connection with at least one fluid tank and at least one fluid pump, and a residential refuse bin lifter assembly, wherein the residential refuse bin lifter assembly is movable between a retracted rest position proximate one of the side walls of the receptacle and a raised and inverted position disposed above the receptacle. The disclosure includes the container assembly in combination with a front load refuse collection vehicle having a container assembly lift apparatus.

Refuse Vehicle Dump Verification System and Apparatus

A method and device for positively identifying that a dump event of a refuse container has occurred into a refuse hopper of a refuse vehicle are provided. When used with route software, alerts may be generated if a specific refuse container is missed or if an unexpected dump event occurs during the route.

Service verification for a rear loading refuse vehicle

A service verification system for a rear loading refuse vehicle includes a motion sensor on a tailgate of the refuse vehicle. The motion sensor is configured to sense refuse being loaded into a tailgate hopper and to provide a time-stamped triggering signal corresponding to a refuse loading event. An onboard processor is configured to receive the triggering signal and evaluate other sensor data to correlate the refuse loading event with an entity.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING ACTUATORS OF A REFUSE VEHICLE
20260116658 · 2026-04-30 · ·

A refuse vehicle includes a lift apparatus configured to collect refuse, one or more sensors, and one or more processing circuits. The lift apparatus includes a first movable body, a first actuator configured to move the first movable body, a second movable body, and a second actuator configured to move the second movable body. The one or more sensors are configured to generate sensor data associated with a first displacement of the first movable body and a second displacement of the second movable body. The one or more processing circuits are configured to operate the first actuator and the second actuator with a first speed, acquire the sensor data, and responsive to a difference between the first displacement of the first movable body and the second displacement of the second movable body being greater than a difference threshold, operate the first actuator or the second actuator with a second speed.
