Abstract

A refuse vehicle can include a battery, a display device, a door, and a control system. The batter can power the refuse vehicle. The display device can display one or more user interfaces. The control system can include one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices can store instructions that can cause, when executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors to determine a state of charge of the battery, detect that the door has moved from a first position to a second position, and transmit a control signal to the display device causing the display device to display a user interface including the state of charge of the battery.

Claims (56)

1 . A refuse vehicle, comprising:

a battery configured to power the refuse vehicle;

a display configured to display one or more user interfaces;

a sensor;

an implement;

a door; and

a control system including one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

determine a state of charge of the battery;

detect that the door has moved from a first position to a second position;

transmit, responsive to detecting that the door has moved from the first position to the second position, a control signal to the display causing the display to display a user interface including the state of charge of the battery, wherein the display displays the user interface for a predetermined amount of time;

receive, from the sensor, a set of operational data associated with the refuse vehicle;

determine, using the set of operational data, that the refuse vehicle is operating in a first mode;

transmit, responsive to determining that the refuse vehicle is operating in the first mode, a second control signal to the display causing the display to update the user interface to include a first view of the refuse vehicle; and

transmit, responsive to determining that the refuse vehicle is operating in the first mode, a third control signal to the implement, wherein the third control signal prevents operation of the implement.

2 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

determine that the battery is electrically coupled with a power source; and

transmit, responsive to detecting that the battery is electrically coupled with the power source, a fourth control signal to the display causing the display to update the user interface to include an indication that the battery is charging.

3 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the display is disposed within a center console of the refuse vehicle.

4 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the user interface further includes:

an indication that the refuse vehicle is electrically coupled with a power source; and

a prompt to decouple the refuse vehicle from the power source prior to operation of the refuse vehicle.

5 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

determine that the refuse vehicle is in a first operation status; and

transmit, based on the first operation status and responsive to detecting that the door has moved from the first position to the second position, the control signal to the display.

6 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from the sensor, a second set of operational data associated with the refuse vehicle;

determine, using the second set of operational data, that the refuse vehicle is operating in a second mode; and

transmit, responsive to determining that the refuse vehicle is operating in the second mode, a fourth control signal to the display causing the display to update the user interface to include a second view of the refuse vehicle;

wherein the first view of the refuse vehicle and the second view of the refuse vehicle are different.

7 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

determine that the refuse vehicle is operating in a second mode; and

transmit, responsive to determining that the refuse vehicle is operating in the second mode, a fourth control signal to the implement, wherein the fourth control signal enables operation of the implement.

8 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , comprising:

an audio device,

wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from the sensor, a set of operational data associated with operation of the refuse vehicle;

determine, using the set of operational data and a predetermined set of operational data, a difference that indicates a deviation in operation of the refuse vehicle; and

transmit, responsive to determination of the difference, a fourth control signal to the audio device causing the audio device to produce an audible alert to indication the deviation in the operation of the refuse vehicle.

9 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , comprising:

a climate system configured to control an environmental condition of the refuse vehicle; and

a steering wheel including an input device, the input device associated with an aspect of the environmental condition of the refuse vehicle;

wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

detect a first interaction with the input device, the first interaction indicating a value pertaining to the aspect of the environmental condition of the refuse vehicle; and

transmit, responsive to detecting the first interaction, a fourth control signal to the climate system causing the climate system to control the environmental condition of the refuse vehicle to reflect the value pertaining to the aspect of the environmental condition of the refuse vehicle.

10 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

the implement is configured to perform an action associated with operation of the refuse vehicle, further comprising:

a steering wheel including an input device, the input device pertaining to an aspect of the action associated with the operation of the refuse vehicle,

wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

detect a first interaction with the input device, the first interaction indicating a request to perform the action associated with the operation of the refuse vehicle; and

transmit, responsive to detecting the first interaction, a fourth control signal to the implement causing the implement to perform the action associated with the operation of the refuse vehicle.

11 . The refuse vehicle of claim 1 , comprising:

a brake system; and

an input device, configured to:

activate, responsive to a first interaction with the input device, the brake system; and

deactivate, responsive to a second interaction with the input device, the brake system.

12 . The refuse vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the input device is at least one of a button or a switch.
