Abstract
A brake pressure controller, responsive to a wheel speed sensor and coupled to a brake, performs a cyclic control of pressure applied to the brake. A brake pressure cycle includes a pressure apply stage and a pressure dump stage having activation conditions based upon a slip threshold parameter. A predetermined base threshold quantity is modified in dependence upon a measured time duration of the pressure dump stage and/or a slip depth error quantity so that a greater amount of slip is added to the base slip threshold when braking on a deformable surface than when braking on a non-deformable surface.
