Abstract
Abstract In a wheel slip prevention control system for preventing the slippage of the driven wheel occuring when a vehicle is accelerated, a reference speed is derived from the non-driven wheel speed and the driven wheel speed is corrected by a correction value obtained as a function of a driven wheel acceleration value and a non-driven wheel acceleration value. The throttle valve is controlled with speed corresponding to the slipping condition of the driven wheel, i.e., with a control speed derived as a function of the reference speed and the corrected driven wheel speed, so that the slippage is quickly and effectively prevented.
