A vehicle system includes a vehicle brake system, an accelerometer mounted on the vehicle, and a controller. The controller receives a first signal from the accelerometer and, during reversing of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction, transmits an actuation signal to the vehicle brake system when the first signal from the accelerometer indicates a deceleration in the longitudinal direction above a predetermined rate within a predetermined time interval.

A system and a method for vehicle stop control are operable such that when it is detected that a vehicle is driving in a direction opposite to the direction of a current gear stage of the vehicle, the driver is warned and the vehicle enters an emergency braking state so as to reduce the risk of an accident and improve stability of a braking system. The vehicle stop control method performed by a controller of the vehicle includes steps of: converting vehicle driving environment information into data to be used as system input information; checking whether a controller related to each of driving and braking systems of the vehicle operates normally; determining whether the vehicle is driving in a reverse direction; and performing vehicle emergency stop control when the vehicle is driving in the reverse direction.
