Abstract
A brake control system is described that prevents a wheel lockup condition by identifying the brake pressure that produces the maximum possible braking effort during each brake pressure application period and applying a predetermined fraction of the identified pressure after an incipient wheel lockup condition is sensed. The predetermined fraction provides for adaptive adjustment of the brake pressure if the identified brake pressure is in error until a pressure is applied that produces substantially the maximum possible braking effort.
