Abstract

An anti-skid control system for motor vehicles is provided wherein the higher one of the lefthand and righthand rear wheels is selected as a first computed speed; the lower one of the above two wheel speeds is selected as a second computed speed; the lower one of the first computed speed and lefthand front wheel speed is selected as a third computed speed; the lower one of the first computed speed and righthand front wheel speed is selected as a fourth computed speed; and a reference speed is set up on the basis of the first computed speed in such a manner that it is lower than the first computed speed by a predetermined amount and follows the first computed speed with such a speed difference. Reduction of brake pressure which has been increased, is started on the basis of the third or fourth computed speed; and in the case where the second computed speed being decelerated, goes below the reference speed, the reduction of the brake hydraulic pressure is stopped at time when the second computed speed which is now being increased as the result of the brake pressure reduction goes above the reference speed, and thereupon buildup of the brake pressure is started.
