A method and apparatus for operating the braking system of a vehicle, in which the system is automatically, on movement of the vehicle, pneumatically armed for actuation by a detector signal to cause brake application, and the armed brake system is actuated by a contact of the moving vehicle with an obstruction to generate a pneumatic signal, the braking system being releasable and automatically rearmable. In another mode the braking system is constantly armed.
