Abstract
An adaptive braking system for a vehicle having fluid pressure operated brakes includes a skid detecting circuit for generating a signal when an incipient skidding condition is detected, a pressure command generator which is responsive to the skid detecting signal for generating a pressure command signal proportional to the commanded fluid pressure level in the vehicle's brakes, and a duty cycle translator responsive to the pressure command signal to actuate the brake pressure modulator. The pressure command generator is designed such that the pressure command signal always begins at some predetermined level when adaptive control of the vehicle's brakes is initiated.
