A braking-system (10) includes a ranging-sensor (18), a braking-actuator (42) and a controller (28). The ranging-sensor (18) is used to detect an object (16) proximate to a host-vehicle (12) when the object (16) resides in a field-of-view (24) of the ranging-sensor (18). The field-of-view (24) defines a boundary (34) of a conflict-zone (36). The controller determines a height (14) of the object, determines a distance to the object, determines a range-rate (30) of the object when the object (16) is in the field-of-view (24), and activates the braking-actuator (42) when an estimated-distance (48) to the object (16) is less than a distance-threshold (50), the height (14) of the object (16) is greater than a height-threshold (52), and the object (16) has crossed the boundary (34) and thereby enters the conflict-zone (36).
