Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling an anti-skid brake in a vehicle, in which an estimated vehicle speed signal is obtained by selecting the higher value signal from wheel speed signals of the front and rear wheels at the left and right side and anti-skid brake devices for the front and rear wheels are independently controlled by independent signals. In this way, the anti-skid brake control can always be performed assuredly while preventing locking of the wheels on slippery roads while also preventing unnecessary anti-skid braking operations at the time of sharp turning. In a modified method and apparatus, control of the anti-skid brake of the rear wheel on the left or right side is effected according to vehicle speed estimated from the speed of a front wheel on the right or left side, whereby gradual locking of the wheels at the time of braking on a slippery road is prevented, and the anti-skid brake control can always be accomplished assuredly and excellent braking effects can always be obtained.
