Abstract
Abstract Evaluation circuit for processing wheel speed signals and controlling brake pressure compares control cycle times to detect when wheel vibrations are present. When cycle times are approximately equal, oscillations are present, and the system is switched to a special operating mode in which pressure reduction is prevented in subsequent control cycles, and pressure build-up or pressure maintenance is initiated in a phase shifted manner.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
Antilocking control system of the type comprising wheel speed sensors and brake pressure control devices assigned to the vehicle wheels, and an evaluation circuit which receives wheel speed signals from said sensors and produces control signals for controlling said brake pressure control devices in successive control cycles each having a duration and comprising a pressure reduction phase, a pressure maintenance phase, and a pressure build-up phase, said evaluation circuit comprising means for determining the duration of two successive control cycles which are followed by a subsequent control cycle, means for comparing the durations of said successive control cycles, means for preventing a pressure reduction phase in the subsequent cycle and initiating a pressure maintenance phase in the subsequent cycle when the durations of the two successive control cycles differ by less than a first predetermined time.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
Antilocking control system as in claim 1 further comprising means for determining when said pressure maintenance phase exceeds a second predetermined time, and means for initiating a pressure build-up phase when said pressure maintenance phase exceeds said second predetermined time.
