Route planning based control of a refuse vehicle hydraulic system

A refuse vehicle comprising:

• a battery;
• an electric motor powered by the battery;
• a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor;
• a hydraulic actuator powered by the hydraulic pump;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the electric motor and configured to:
• determine a position of the refuse vehicle on a route and a projected time to a next stop;
• recognize stored stop parameters based on the position on the route, 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, based on the position of the refuse vehicle on the route and the projected time to the next stop, to achieve the fork width or the fork height.

A control system comprising:

• 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 position of a refuse vehicle on a route and a projected time to a next stop along a route;
• determine a state of charge of a battery onboard the refuse vehicle;
• and
• generate a control signal to control a cycle time of a hydraulic actuator onboard the refuse vehicle when the state of charge is less than a threshold and based on the projected time to the next stop.
