  • Anti-skid control system employing integral-plus-proportional control of pulsed modulation
    Patent number: 3967862
    Abstract: In an anti-skid type control system for automotive vehicles, apparatus for maintaining wheel slip in a region of values associated with a maximum coefficient of road friction. Periodic modulation of the wheel brake torque in conjunction with wheel acceleration measurement are employed to determine the variation of the coefficient of road friction from an optimum value, while integral-plus-proportional control of the pulse modulation allows compensatory variation of the wheel torque and slip condition to a condition providing the optimum coefficient of road friction.
