    摘要: A suspension assembly for a commercial vehicle includes a first linkage, an air spring, a carriage, and a second linkage. The first linkage is pivotally coupled at a first end with a structural member of a frame. The structural member extends downwards from the frame. The air spring is coupled with the frame and a second end of the first linkage. The air spring drives the first linkage to pivot about the first end relative to the structural member. The carriage is pivotally coupled with the first linkage at a position between the first end and the second end of the first linkage. The second linkage is pivotally coupled at a first end with the structural member, and pivotally coupled with the carriage at a second end. The structural member, the first linkage, the second linkage, and the carriage define a four-bar linkage.

    摘要: A refuse vehicle can include a first camera, a second camera, and one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits can communicate with the first camera and the second camera. The one or more processing circuits can receive first data associated with a collection site proximate to the refuse vehicle, detect a first object and a second object based on the first data, generate one or more bounding boxes to establish a dimension for the first object, and determine a position of the first object relative to the second object.

    摘要: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a vehicle body. A variable displacement pump is positioned within the vehicle body and is configured to pump hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic fluid reservoir into a high pressure line of a hydraulic circuit. A lifting system on the vehicle includes at least one actuator in fluid communication with the variable displacement pump, which delivers pressurized hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir to the actuator through the high pressure line to adjust a position of the actuator. A valve is positioned downstream of the variable displacement pump. In a first valve position, the valve restricts flow outward from the high pressure line. In a second valve position, the valve directs fluid from the high pressure line into a lower pressure line to reduce a hydraulic pressure within the high pressure line and adjust an output parameter of the variable displacement pump.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a lift assembly coupled to the body, a collection arm assembly coupled to the lift assembly and including a pair of interface members configured to engage an object, an object detection system configured to provide object detection data, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an indication, based on the object detection data, that the object is within an aligned zone relative to the body, provide instructions on a display that, when performed, result in the lift assembly moving so that the pair of interface members are aligned to engage the object, and the collection arm assembly actuating and engaging the pair of interface members with the object.

    摘要: A fire apparatus includes a pump driver, a water pump driven by the pump driver, an aerial ladder assembly including a plurality of extendable ladder sections and ladder actuators configured to reposition the aerial ladder assembly and extend the plurality of extendable ladder sections, and a control system. The control system is configured to operate the aerial ladder assembly according to first predefined criteria, acquire first operation data during operation of the aerial ladder assembly according to the first predefined criteria, operate the water pump according to second predefined criteria, acquire second operation data during operation of the water pump according to the second predefined criteria, determine an adjustment for the fire apparatus based on the first operation data or the second operation data, and at least one of (a) implement the adjustment or (b) provide a notification regarding the adjustment.
