Anti-skid control system for an automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. An anti-skid control system for controlling a braking force applied to road wheels of a vehicle, comprising:
- braking condition detecting means for detecting at least one running condition of said vehicle in a braking operation and producing a detached signal corresponding to said running condition;
reference value setting means for setting a reference value representing a predetermined running condition of said vehicle corresponding to said one running condition;
braking condition determining means for comparing said detected signal with said reference value and producing a braking condition signal in response to a result of comparison;
control mode changing means for selectively providing one control mode of a simultaneous control mode for controlling simultaneously a braking force applied to both of a pair of right and left rear road wheels and an independent control mode for controlling independently a braking force applied to each of said right and left rear road wheels in response to said braking condition signal; and
braking force control means for controlling said braking force applied to said road wheels in accordance with said control mode provided by said control mode changing means.

Abstract
An anti-skid control system for an automotive vehicle is provided with braking condition detectors for detecting at least a running condition of the vehicle in braking operation and producing a detected signal corresponding to the running condition. The detected signal is compared with a reference value to produce a braking condition signal. In response to the braking condition signal, selectively provided is one control mode of a simultaneous control mode for controlling simultaneously a braking force applied to both of a pair of right and left road wheels and an independent control mode for controlling independently a braking force applied to each of the right and left road wheels. Then, the braking force applied to the right and left road wheels is controlled in accordance with the control mode.

7. An anti-skid control system for controlling a braking force applied to each of front and rear road wheels of a vehicle, comprising:
-
vehicle speed detecting means for detecting at least a vehicle speed of said vehicle in braking operation and producing a detected signal corresponding to said vehicle speed; reference value setting means for setting a reference value representing a predetermined vehicle speed; braking condition determining means for comparing said detected vehicle speed signal in magnitude with said reference value and producing a braking condition signal in response to a result of comparison; control mode changing means for selectively providing one control mode of a simultaneous control mode for controlling simultaneously a braking force applied to both of a pair of right and left rear road wheels on the basis of a braking force applied to one of said right and left rear road wheels rotating at the lower speed thereof and an independent control mode for controlling independently a braking force applied to each of said right and left rear road wheels in response to said braking condition signal; and braking force control means for controlling said braking force applied to each of said front and rear road wheels of said vehicle, said braking force control means controlling said braking force applied to said right and left rear road wheels in accordance with said control mode provided by said control mode changing means.
