  • Vehicular antilock brake system incorporating improved adaptive control feature
    Patent number: 5382086
    Abstract: An antilock brake system selectively, controllably applies and relieves braking force to and from a vehicle wheel. The system determines when the wheel exhibits a tendency to lock during the application of braking force, and when the wheel recovers from its tendency to lock after relief of braking force, and calculates a tuner time which represents the time elapsed between when the wheel recovers from one tendency to lock and when the wheel exhibits its next tendency to lock. When the wheel exhibits a tendency to lock, the braking force is initially relieved, and is thereafter increased as a function of the tuner time from a previous cycle.
