REFUSE VEHICLE WITH SELF-ADJUSTING CYCLE TIME

Abstract: a refuse vehicle includes an implement assembly, a sensor, and processing circuitry. the implement assembly performs a cycle operation over a cycle time period. the sensor is configured to obtain sensor data indicative of the cycle time period. the processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on the sensor data, a current value of the cycle time period. the processing circuitry is also configured to determine, based on a comparison between the current value of the cycle time period and a target value of the cycle time period, an adjustment to control of the implement assembly. the adjustment to the control of the implement assembly may be determined such that the current value of the cycle time period is substantially the same as the target value of the cycle time period. the processing circuitry can also be configured to control operation of the implement assembly according to the adjustment.
