| − | A reconfigurable compartment for a military vehicle. The reconfigurable compartment includes a floor, a front, a rear, a roof, and sides. The floor, the front, the rear, the roof, and the sides are removably coupled with each other to define the reconfigurable compartment. At least one of the floor, the front, the rear, the roof, or the sides are function-specific and replaceable with a different function-specific at least one of the floor, the front, the rear, the roof, or the sides and thereby facilitate transitioning an overall function of the military vehicle to accommodate a variety of different vehicle applications.

| |
| − | This abstract describes a refuse vehicle (such as a garbage truck) that has a control system. The control system uses processing circuitry to determine the speed of the vehicle or if the lift apparatus (used for collecting garbage bins) is activated. Based on this information, the control system can switch the vehicle between two modes of operation: collection mode and highway mode. Each mode has different braking settings for the vehicle. This allows the refuse vehicle to operate efficiently and safely in different situations.

| − | The abstract describes a vehicle system that includes a vehicle with a chassis and body assembly, a prime mover for powering the vehicle, and a lift assembly. The system also includes a vehicle control system with a sensor integrated into the body assembly. The control system receives data from the sensor, which indicates a potential event. It then generates a notification for the potential event. The control system also receives control data indicating the state of the refuse vehicle and filters the sensor data through this control data to determine if the potential event is a false event related to the vehicle's state or a true event caused by an external source. If it is determined to be a false event, the notification is masked.

The vehicle is equipped with processing circuits that perform several functions. Firstly, it determines the location of the vehicle using GPS coordinates and uses this information to determine its position on a route map. Based on this position, the hydraulic actuator is controlled accordingly. The processing circuits also monitor the state of charge of the battery and determine a threshold level below which the operation of the electric motor, hydraulic pump, or hydraulic actuator needs to be adjusted. This threshold can be dynamically updated based on the position on the route map or the weight of the refuse in the vehicle's compartment.
