System and method for supervising stopping systems of a vehicle

A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• in a vehicle having a primary stopping system comprising friction brakes and a transmission control unit, and a secondary stopping system comprising a parking brake system and a propulsion inhibition system, obtain data indicative of a fault in at least one of the primary stopping system and the secondary stopping system;
• in response to the fault being one of a group of faults included in a first predefined group of faults, perform a braking action using the transmission control unit of the primary stopping system and the parking brake system of the secondary stopping system;
• in response to the fault being one of a group of faults included in a second predefined group of faults, perform a braking action using the parking brake system and the propulsion inhibition system of the secondary stopping system;
• and
• in response to the fault being one of a group of faults included in a third predefined group of faults, perform a braking action using the friction brakes of the primary stopping system and the propulsion inhibition system of the secondary stopping system.
