Abstract

An anti-skid brake control system for a motor vehicle includes at least one sensor for determining the deceleration V.sub.R of a vehicle wheel, a device for determining the deceleration V.sub.F of the vehicle, a device for determining the difference D of the vehicle and wheel decelerations (D=V.sub.F -V.sub.R), a control circuit responsive to the difference D for producing brake pressure control signals, and a brake pressure control device for increasing and decreasing the given brake pressure in response to the control signals from the control circuit. The difference D is also supplied to a ladder filter. During phases in which brake pressure is maintained at a constant level, the ladder filter is switched to identification by the control circuit and determines a reflection coefficient. The control signals then affect the brake pressure so as to select a slippage value on a stable branch of the .mu. slippage curve and near its maximum is derived from the distance of the reflection coefficient from the value "1".
