A mixer vehicle system includes a mixer vehicle and an autonomous control system. The mixer vehicle includes a chassis and a vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a plurality of subcomponents including a cabin, a mixing drum, a charge hopper, and a chute. The autonomous control system is configured to automate an operation of the mixer vehicle. The autonomous control system includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect an event and generate a signal. The controller is configured to receive the signal and generate an output. The output includes the operation of the mixer vehicle. The operation of the mixer vehicle includes at least one of: (i) moving at least one of the plurality of subcomponents to a desired position; (ii) activating or deactivating at least one mode of operation; and (iii) providing an alert to an operator of the mixer vehicle.

The disclosure relates to a drive train for a mixer drum, wherein the drive train comprises a generator which outputs a first alternating voltage to a first converter. The first converter is connected to a high-voltage direct voltage network. A second converter is also provided which is connected to the high-voltage direct voltage network and which supplies an electric motor with a second alternating voltage in order to drive the mixer drum. The drive train also comprises a high-voltage battery which is connected to the high-voltage direct voltage network. Finally, a control unit is also provided which is connected to the first and second power converters or the battery and thus controls a flow of energy via the high-voltage direct voltage network.

A controller for a concrete mixer vehicle includes a base, an elongated shaft extending from the base, and a control portion positioned at free end of the elongated shaft. The control portion has a grip portion and a button interface providing at least one of a plurality of controls. The plurality of controls facilitate selectively operating (i) a hopper actuator to reposition a charge hopper between a first position and a second position, (ii) a first chute actuator to pivot a chute about a lateral axis to raise and lower a distal end of the chute, (iii) a second chute actuator to pivot the chute about a vertical axis to move the distal end left and right, (iv) a drum driver to control at least one of a speed or a rotational direction of a mixing drum, and (v) a transmission of the concrete mixer vehicle in one of a plurality of modes.

A system for tracking refuse collection vehicles includes one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving, from a user device, a first user input indicating one or more parameters of a geofence, the geofence defining a virtual perimeter around a geographical location, determining whether the refuse collection vehicle is within the virtual perimeter of the geofence based on a current location of the refuse collection vehicle, and transmitting, to the user device, a first notification based on a determination that the refuse collection vehicle is within the geofence, the first notification indicating to a user of the user device that the refuse collection vehicle is within the geofence.
