SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR REFUSE VEHICLE

A refuse vehicle includes a first controller area network (CAN) bus for body functions of the refuse vehicle. The refuse vehicle also includes multiple controllable elements of a body of the refuse vehicle communicably coupled with the first CAN bus. The refuse vehicle includes a second CAN bus for chassis functions of the refuse vehicle. The refuse vehicle includes multiple controllable elements of a chassis of the refuse vehicle communicably coupled with the second CAN bus. The refuse vehicle includes a telematics module communicably coupled with both the first CAN bus and the second CAN bus. The telematics module is configured to monitor communications on both the first CAN bus and the second CAN bus and transmit the communications to a cloud computing system. The first CAN bus and the second CAN bus are communicatively separate and do not communicate with each other directly.
