Abstract

In an automatic brake controller having a vehicle velocity detector for detecting vehicle velocity and a wheel velocity detector for detecting wheel velocity, a failure detecting system is provided for the vehicle velocity detector and the wheel velocity detector. A comparator which makes a comparison between the vehicle velocity signal obtained from said vehicle velocity detector and the wheel velocity signal obtained from said wheel velocity detector generates a predetermined output signal when the difference between both the output signals of said detectors exceeds a predetermined value, and a logical circuit is responsive to said output signal from said comparator to provide a failure signal when a signal representative of a normal transit condition is being generated.
