Abstract
An anti-skid braking system for a vehicle comprising a supply of fluid for actuating a plurality of wheel brakes, a skid control unit interposed between the fluid supply and the brakes, sensors to detect the skidding of a plurality of wheels and actuating means responsive to skid signals from the sensors and adapted to actuate the skid control unit to relive the fluid pressure at the brake of the wheel at impending lock by means of a plurality of successive first brake release periods. In order to reduce yawing, when an impending skid condition is detected at one wheel, the skid control unit is arranged to induce second, shorter brake release periods in one or more of the brakes of the wheels not at impending lock.
