Abstract

An anti-skid control for use in an automotive vehicle is comprised of a brake control device for adjusting braking force of each road-wheel of a vehicle, the brake control device being set to be initiated upon receipt of a condition, a detecting device being set to be initiated upon receipt of a condition, a detecting device for measuring a load applied to the vehicle, and a changing device for less sensitivity of the initiation of the brake control device as the load decreases. Even if an instantaneous decrease of the load occurs due to the vehicle's jumping motion or turning motion, an expected initiation of the brake operation can be prevented.
