Wheel slip control system
First Claim
1. A wheel slip control system comprising:
- a drive wheel speed detection means for detecting a speed of drive wheels;
a follower speed detection means for detecting a speed of non-driven follower wheels;
a rotation difference computing means for computing the ratio of a detected value of said drive wheel speed detection means to a detected value of said follower speed detection means during a steady state running condition;
a drive wheel speed correction means for correcting said detected value of said drive wheel speed detection means using said wheel speed ratio determined by said rotation difference computing means;
a slip determination means for determining if slippage of said drive wheels is occurring by comparing the value of the drive wheel speed corrected by said drive wheel speed correction means with a value based on the detected value of said follower speed detection means; and
an output power control means for improving traction output according to the determination of said slip determination means when the vehicle is in a non-steady state running condition.

Abstract
A wheel slip control system is provided which includes a drive wheel speed detection device for detecting the speed of drive wheels driven by an internal combustion engine, a follower speed detection device for detecting the speed of follower wheels, a rotation difference computing device for computing the ratio of a detected value of the drive wheel speed detection device to a detected value of the follower speed detection device if the absolute change rate of the detection value of the drive wheel speed detection device is less than a fixed value, a drive wheel speed correction device for correcting a detected value of the drive wheel speed detection device using the wheel speed ratio computed by the rotation difference computing device, a slip determination device for determining if a slip is occurring by comparing the value of drive wheel speed corrected by the drive wheel speed correction device with the detected value of the follower speed detection device and an output power control for controlling the output power of the internal combustion engine according to the determination of the slip determination means.
