Abstract
A system (e.g., a vehicle control system) includes a brake control unit that is configured to be operably deployed onboard a vehicle. The brake control unit has one or more sensor inputs and one or more control outputs. One of the sensor units is configured to receive a speed signal from a speed sensor of the vehicle; the speed signal is indicative of a vehicle speed detected by the speed sensor. One of the control outputs is configured for connection to a brake system of the vehicle. The brake control unit is configured to generate a vehicle control signal to initiate a vehicle brake operation responsive to the speed indicated by the speed signal going above a designated first speed threshold and the speed signal meeting one or more first designated criteria in addition to the first speed threshold.
