Abstract
A traction control method/apparatus for motor vehicles is arranged such that at an initial stage of the starting or accelerating operation of the motor vehicle where a large amount of slip of the driving wheel tends to be caused, a braking force is sufficiently applied to the driving wheel to restrain the slip thereof; and after the engine output is adjusted through accelerator or throttle control which is performed simultaneously with the application of the braking force, the procedure for controlling the brake hydraulic pressure is changed to eliminate the difference between the lefthand and righthand driving wheel speeds.
