Refuse vehicle control system

A refuse vehicle, including:

• a chassis extending longitudinally;
• a body coupled to the chassis and defining a refuse compartment configured to store refuse;
• a refuse collection arm configured to engage a refuse container and lift the refuse container to unload refuse from the refuse container, the refuse collection arm including an actuator configured to control movement of the refuse collection arm;
• an object detection system configured to provide object detection data relating to locations of objects relative to the refuse vehicle;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the object detection system and the actuator;
• wherein, in response to an indication from the object detection system that an object is present near the refuse vehicle, the controller is configured to use the object detection data to determine if the object is an obstacle or a refuse container;
• and
• wherein, in response to a determination that the object is an obstacle, the controller is configured to at least one of (a) provide an indication to an operator that the obstacle is present near the refuse vehicle and (b) limit a movement of the refuse vehicle.

A control system for a refuse vehicle including a refuse collection arm, the control system comprising:

• a location sensor configured to provide data relating to at least one of a position and an orientation of the refuse collection arm;
• an actuator configured to control movement of the refuse collection arm;
• a display;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the location sensor, the actuator, and the display, wherein the controller is configured to use the data from the location sensor to generate a model of the refuse collection arm, and wherein the display is configured to display the model generated by the controller.
