Abstract

A system includes a controller, an activation device, and a communication device. The controller may control movement of a first vehicle system absent an operator input onboard the first vehicle system. The controller may control a propulsion system and a braking system of the first vehicle system. The controller may be positioned off-board the first vehicle system. The activation device may receive a status signal indicating a presence of a work marker proximate to the first vehicle system. The communication device may communicate a lockout signal from the activation device to the controller to direct the controller to prevent activation of the propulsion system and engage the braking system to prevent movement of the first vehicle system.
