Abstract

An anti-skid control system for an automotive vehicle, comprises a plurality of actuators each associated with one of front-left, front-right, rear-left and rear-right road wheels, for adjusting braking forces applied to the road wheels independently of each other, sensors for detecting wheel speeds of the road wheels to generate wheel-speed indicative signals, and a controller for controlling the actuators in response to the wheel-speed indicative signals. The controller selects a lower value of the wheel-speed indicative signal values of a controlled rear wheel, subjected to a braking-force control, and its diagonal front wheel located on the vehicle diagonally to the controlled rear wheel, and controls the actuator associated with the controlled rear wheel in accordance with the lower value, during braking-force control for the controlled rear wheel.
