1. A system comprising:
a brake control unit configured to be operably deployed onboard a vehicle and having one or more sensor inputs and one or more control outputs, at least one of the one or more sensor inputs configured to receive a speed signal from a speed sensor of the vehicle, the speed signal indicative of a vehicle speed detected by the speed sensor, and at least one of the one or more control outputs being configured for connection to a brake system of the vehicle,
wherein the brake control unit is configured to:
generate a vehicle control signal to initiate a vehicle brake operation responsive to the vehicle speed indicated by the speed signal going above a designated first speed threshold and the speed signal meeting one or more first designated criteria in addition to the first speed threshold; and
forgo generating the vehicle control signal responsive to the vehicle speed indicated by the speed signal going above a designated first speed threshold based on the designated criteria indicating a false positive, wherein the false positive is associated with a transient event of the vehicle.
