A control system, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to obtain information associated with a vehicle system, the vehicle system including two or more vehicles configured to move along a route, the one or more processors configured to apply the information associated with the vehicle system to a trip simulation to determine how the vehicle system will operate while the vehicle system moves along the route, the trip simulation including one or more of anticipated operating conditions of the vehicle system or anticipated route conditions the vehicle system is expected to be exposed to as the vehicle system moves along the route,
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine that the vehicle system will be unable to stop at one or more locations along the route based on the application of the information associated with the vehicle system to the trip simulation, and
• responsive to determining that the vehicle system will be unable to stop at the one or more locations along the route, the one or more processors configured to control movement of the vehicle system to move along the route.
