Abstract

To counteract the tendency of over-steering when a vehicle operates in a curved path, and one of the wheels--typically the wheel at the inner side of the curve exhibits a tendency to block and, then, braking pressure is reduced to one of the front wheels only, the braking pressure applied to the rear wheel or wheels is reduced. If braking pessure is reduced to both of the front wheels, braking pressure being applied to the rear wheels is controlled, independently, in accordance with anti-brake lock control considerations, which have priority over dropping of braking pressure to prevent over-steering.
