Abstract

The period of an initial apply motor current in each apply phase of an antilock brake pressure cycle in a motor driven pressure modulator antilock braking system is adaptively controlled following a sensed recovery from an incipient wheel lockup condition to establish substantially a steady state condition relationship between current and pressure before motor current is ramped to ramp brake pressure. The period of the initial apply motor current is made a function of the amount of pressure decrease during a prior release phase portion of the antilock brake cycle to account for the greater increase in brake pressure to the initial reapply value.
