Abstract
A refuse vehicle includes 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 being configured to: determine a location of the refuse vehicle including a global position system coordinate, determine a position on a route map using the location, control the hydraulic actuator based on the position on the route map, determine a state of charge of the battery and a threshold for the state of charge below which operation of the electric motor, the hydraulic pump, or the hydraulic actuator is adjusted, and dynamically update the threshold based on the position on the route map or a weight of refuse in a refuse compartment.
