Route planning based control of a refuse vehicle hydraulic system

A refuse vehicle comprising:

• an electric motor powered by a battery;
• a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor;
• a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump;
• and
• one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine a location of the refuse vehicle including a global position system coordinate;
• determine a position on a route map and a projected time to a next stop along a route using the location;
• recognize stored stop parameters based on the position on the route map, the stop parameters including information indicative of a fork width or a fork height that is associated with refuse collection stops corresponding with the position;
• and
• control the hydraulic actuator, using the electric motor, based on the position on the route map and the projected time to the next stop to achieve the fork width or the fork height.

• determine a position on a route map and a projected time to a next stop along a route based on the route map;
• determine a state of charge of the battery;
• and
• control the electric motor to change a cycle time of the hydraulic actuator when the state of charge is less than a threshold and based on the projected time to the next stop.
