Abstract
A braking control system for a vehicle system includes a first control circuit configured to receive a first signal indicative of a requested snow-braking application, and to generate a snow-braking application command responsive thereto. The system also includes a second control circuit configured to control at least one braking device to apply the requested snow-braking application to the vehicle system, responsive to receiving the snow-braking application command from the first control circuit. The first control circuit is also configured to receive an actual braking signal indicative of an actual braking that is applied by the braking device to the vehicle system in response to the snow-braking application command, to compare the actual braking with the requested snow-braking application, and to determine that the requested snow-braking application has not been properly applied when the actual braking does not correspond with the requested snow-braking application within designated parameters.
