Abstract
Abstract A method of preventing wheels of a vehicle from skidding in which a wheel-acceleration signal representative of the peripheral acceleration of a wheel is obtained by differentiating a wheel-shaped signal representative of a suitably detected peripheral speed of the wheel. The braking torque applied to the wheel during braking is controlled and held constant when the level of a wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of a first reference wheel-acceleration signal and lower than that of a second reference wheel-acceleration signal, whereas it is increased when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal. A reference wheel-speed signal, representative of a predetermined reference wheel speed, and a reference wheel-deceleration signal are set for comparison with the wheel-speed signal and the wheel-acceleration signal, respectively, and the brake torque is held constant when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the reference wheel-deceleration signal and lower than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal if the level of the wheel-speed signal is lower than that of the reference wheel-speed signal. The brake torque is further controlled to increase when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal.
