Abstract

An automobile anti-skid brake control system, comprises wheel-speed sensors, a pseudo vehicle speed generator, an arithmetic circuit for calculating a slip ratio of each road wheel, and a controller for controlling a wheel-brake cylinder pressure of each road wheel. The controller includes a compensation circuit for compensating a different-diameter wheel speed of a different-diameter road wheel with a small-sized emergency tire, utilizing an error rate of the different-diameter wheel speed with respect to the detected wheel speed of the other road wheel with a usual tire. The error rate is derived on the basis of a ratio of diameter-difference between the different-diameter road wheel and the other road wheel. The ratio of diameter-difference is derived on the basis of a maximum wheel speed corresponding to the different-diameter wheel speed and a second highest wheel speed of the detected wheel speeds. The controller controls each wheel-brake cylinder pressure so that the slip ratio derived from a compensated pseudo vehicle speed based on the compensated different-diameter wheel speed is adjusted to a predetermined reference slip ratio.
