DETECTION OF BRAKE LOCKUP EVENT AND COUNTERMEASURE IMPLEMENTATION

A golf vehicle includes a chassis, a prime mover, a plurality of tractive elements, a motion sensor, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a controls system. The motion sensor is configured to acquire data regarding a speed or an acceleration of at least one of the prime mover or the at least one of the plurality of tractive elements. At least one of the plurality of tractive elements is driven by the prime mover. The control system is configured to acquire a first motion characteristic of the golf vehicle from a first source, acquire a second motion characteristic of the golf vehicle from a second source, detect a brake lockup event based on the first motion characteristic and the second motion characteristic, and implement a countermeasure to mitigate the brake lockup event. The first source is the IMU or a global positioning system. The second source is the motion sensor.
