Abstract

In an anti-lock vehicle braking system the brake pressure acting at the controlled wheel is controlled in such a manner that the threshold value with respect to the rotational retardation of the wheel at the beginning of a lowering or raising of pressure is increased briefly, during a control cycle, by a constant amount (S.sub.H -S.sub.G) with respect to a threshold base value (S.sub.G) in order to avoid any undesired control operations caused especially by axle vibrations, pot holes, and the like. The threshold value is then decreased in response to the period of time of the pressure reduction in the preceding control cycle. The decreasing of the threshold value is carried on to values S.sub.T below the threshold base value and maintained for a given time interval (t.sub.x -t.sub.y).
