Abstract
The invention is directed to an anti-skid control system for controlling a braking force applied to each of the road wheels with a hydraulic braking pressure supplied to a wheel brake cylinder through pressure control means. A wheel speed of each of the road wheels is detected. Then, an estimated vehicle speed for each of the road wheels is calculated on the basis of the wheel speed and a decreasing rate of estimated vehicle speed for at least one of the road wheels other than the road wheel for which the estimated vehicle speed is being calculated. The estimated vehicle speed is, therefore, prevented from being set largely below the actual speed of the vehicle. The pressure control means is provided for increasing, holding or decreasing the hydraulic braking pressure in response to a result of comparison between the estimated vehicle speed and the wheel speed for each of the road wheels.
