Abstract
There is disclosed a transit vehicle brake control apparatus and method which determines a safe brake velocity for the vehicle in relation to a speed control relationship including roadway system design deceleration, the deceleration of the vehicle in relation to inertial space and the deceleration of the vehicle in relation to the roadway, when the actual speed is greater than the input command speed for the vehicle from the roadway. The actual speed of the vehicle is compared with the determined safe brake velocity for the control of the vehicle speed.
