Abstract
A vehicle controller may determine a decelerator input associated with controlling an engine speed of an engine of the vehicle. The vehicle controller may determine, while the vehicle is moving and based on the decelerator input satisfying a braking threshold, that an engine decelerator, associated with the decelerator input, is to be enabled for use in stopping the vehicle. The vehicle controller may determine, based on determining that the engine decelerator is to be used to cause the vehicle to be stopped, an amount of braking to be applied by a braking device of the vehicle to stop the vehicle. The vehicle controller may automatically cause the braking device to apply the amount of braking to stop the vehicle.
