Integrated operator centric controls

A control system, comprising:

• a control interface mountable in a cab area of a vehicle, the control interface including a first actuator configured to receive a user command to control an application-specific working component, the working component coupled with a chassis of the vehicle to form a body portion of the vehicle and configured to move relative to the chassis via a hydraulic actuator during application-specific non-transit operations of the vehicle;
• and
• a control interface module communicably coupled to the control interface, the control interface module communicably couplable to the working component and a non-working component of the vehicle, the non-working component configured to facilitate transit operations for the vehicle, the control interface module configured to receive the user command from the control interface and actuate the hydraulic actuator to control the working component during the non-transit operations based on the user command;
• wherein the control interface module is configured to change operation of the first actuator of the control interface to cause the first actuator to control the non-working component during the transit operations.

A vehicular communications network comprising:

• a plurality of control modules including:
• a first control module configured to control operation of an application-specific working component of a vehicle, wherein the working component is coupled with the vehicle to form a body portion of the vehicle and is coupled to a hydraulic actuator, wherein the hydraulic actuator is configured move the working component relative to the vehicle to facilitate application-specific non-transit operations;
• a second control module configured to control operation of a non-working component of the vehicle, wherein the non-working component is configured to facilitate transit operations of the vehicle;
• a control interface, the control interface including an actuator configured to receive user commands and control at least one of the plurality of control modules, the control interface having a plurality of operation modes including a first operation mode in which the user commands received by the actuator control the first control module during the non-transit operations, and a second operation mode in which the user commands received by the actuator control the second control module during the transit operations;
• and
• a control interface module communicably coupled to the control interface and the plurality of control modules, the control interface module configured to change the operation mode of the control interface between the first operation mode and the second operation mode.
