Vehicle braking control system

A vehicle system comprising:

• a braking system;
• and
• a braking control system comprising:
• a first control circuit configured to:
• receive a first signal indicative of a requested snow-braking application;
• and
• generate a snow-braking application command responsive to receiving the first signal;
• and
• a second control circuit configured to:
• receive the snow-braking application command from the first control circuit;
• control the braking system to apply the requested snow-braking application to the vehicle system, responsive to receiving the snow-braking application command;
• wherein the first control circuit is further configured to:
• receive an actual braking signal that is indicative of an actual braking that is applied by the braking system to the vehicle system in response to the snow-braking application command generated by the first control circuit;
• compare the actual braking that is indicated by the actual braking signal with the requested snow-braking application;
• and
• determine that the requested snow-braking application has not been properly applied when the actual braking indicated by the actual braking signal does not correspond with the requested snow-braking application.

A braking control system for a vehicle system, comprising:

• a first control circuit configured to:
• receive a first signal indicative of a requested braking application for mitigating ice and/or snow on one or more of a wheel of the vehicle system or a braking component associated with the wheel of the vehicle system or associated with an axle coupled to the wheel of the vehicle system;
• and
• generate a second, command signal responsive to receiving the first signal;
• and
• a second control circuit configured to:
• receive the command signal from the first control circuit;
• control a braking system of the vehicle system to apply a first designated degree of braking to the vehicle system to mitigate the ice and/or snow, responsive to receiving the command signal;
• wherein the first control circuit is further configured to:
• receive an actual braking signal that is indicative of an actual degree of braking that is applied by the braking system to the vehicle system in response to the command signal;
• compare the actual degree of braking with the designated degree of braking;
• and
• determine that the requested braking application has not been properly applied when the actual degree of braking does not correspond with the designated degree of braking.
