Abstract
A wheel speed control apparatus for controlling a braking force and/or a driving force transmitted to wheels maintains the difference between the peripheral speed of each of the wheels and the vehicle running speed or an inferred value thereof at a value approximating the optimum value. The apparatus includes a normal control that detects and controls the increase or incipient increase of the difference over the absolute value using a differential value of the difference and difference or the rotational speed of the wheels. An integrating control detects and controls the continuation for a certain period of slightly excessive tendency of the absolute value of the difference, by comparing with a predetermined threshold value one of values which is smaller than the value with which, when the differential value is zero, the normal control would determines the excessive different only with the absolute value.
