Abstract
An antilock brake control system for a vehicle is capable of switching between an individual control mode and a collective control mode. The individual control mode regulates the braking forces of left and right wheel brakes in accordance with locking tendencies of the left and right wheels during braking. The collective control mode collectively regulates the braking forces of the left and right wheel brakes in accordance with one of the detected locking tendencies of the wheels, the direction of a vehicle's yaw rate and the steering direction. When these directions coincide with each other, the individual control mode is selected, but when these directions do not coincide with each other, the collective control mode is selected. Thus, it is possible to easily determine a state where the friction coefficients of the road sections, with which the left and right wheels are contacted, are different. Thus, stability is insured in the collective control mode. At other times, the individual control mode can be selected to provide a sufficient braking force.
