Abstract
A system is provided for inhibiting movement of a vehicle away from infrastructure temporarily connected with the vehicle. A sensor indicates whether the vehicle is connected with the infrastructure. A valve controls delivery of fluid pressure to a service brake on the vehicle. A controller determines whether the vehicle is in an armed state permitting application of the service brake when a set of conditions is present in which the parking brake is released, the speed of the vehicle meets a predetermined condition relative to a threshold speed, and the vehicle is connected with the infrastructure or a disarmed state prohibiting application of the service brake when the set of conditions is present. If the set of conditions is present while in the armed state, the controller directs the valve to apply the service brake.
