Claim Text:
1. An accelerator pedal operated braking system for an automatic transmission vehicle; said braking system including monitoring of angular data and angular rate of change data of an accelerator pedal of said vehicle; said system further including a control module and an actuator acting on the brake pedal of said vehicle; said braking system responsive to said angular data and angular rate of change data wherein said actuator of said vehicle is connected to said brake pedal; said actuator responsive to said angular status and angular rate of change as monitored by said control module of said system; said actuator arranged to depress said brake pedal from a default zero applied braking force position to at least a percentage of a maximum applied braking force position and wherein, while said engine is initially in idle mode and said braking system is in activated mode, a first zone of rotation of said accelerator pedal from a default non-rotated angle to a first rotated angle causes said actuator to gradually reduce braking force from a maximum applied braking force to zero applied braking force; said first zone of rotation forming a first portion of said movement of said accelerator pedal during which an increase in engine RPM is insufficient to urge said vehicle into motion.
