Abstract: To improve the reliability of operation of an anti-skid braking system, and to provide a warning indication if malfunction should occur in such a system (ABS), a pressure-responsive switch (6, 62, 63) having two switching elements (S.sub.1 S.sub.2 ; 43a, 44a, 43b, 44b, 46a, 46b, 47a, 47b) is connected to a pressurized hydraulic brake fluid connection line to a control valve for a vehicle brake, the switches providing, respectively, control signals of different levels of pressure applied thereto, and, in case of failure of one switch to respond to a higher pressure level, at which time a pump motor is to be energized to resupply the pressure, a second switch, responsive to a lower pressure value, is provided, providing a further warning indication and, if appropriate, disconnecting the ABS with a disconnect indication to the operator that the braking system is placed back under operator control.

Abstract: The anti-wheel-lock control system has a wheel speed transducer (1), an evaluation circuit (3), and a braking pressure control device (4, 5).Particularly in commercial vehicles and at low speed, the vehicle wheel may exhibit frictional oscillations; these frictional oscillations appear as rapidly changing speed signals when sensed by the value transducer (1), which simulate sudden high wheel speed. The invention addresses the problem of eliminating these disturbances. The changes in the speed signals are physically impossible, and the disturbances are eliminated by a circuit (15, 16, 27, 28, 29) which recognizes physically impossible changes in the wheel speed by comparing the actual speed signals with a simulation threshold at which changes in speed are physically impossible.

Abstract: A testing apparatus for an anti-lock control system for vehicle brakes for testing the correct functioning of the control system. In one embodiment, the apparatus establishes a predetermined speed and compares this predetermined speed to the speed sensed by the sensing portion of the control system. When the predetermined speed is exceeded by the moving vehicle a testing apparatus is triggered which initiates a test procedure for the control system. The apparatus includes a switching device to insure that a test procedure is initiated only after the vehicle ignition switch is actuated. In another embodiment, the apparatus employs a temperature sensor and/or the control system output for initiating a test procedure, but not during a deceleration of the vehicle. In a further variant, two threshold levels are established, each of which must be encountered before the test procedure is initiated.

Abstract: In an antilocking control system in which wheel speed is monitored to control a braking operation in a manner to prevent locking of the braked wheels, a tendency of the wheel velocity to decrease more rapidly than a reference rate acts to reduce the brake pressure, and a subsequent tendency of the wheel velocity to increase acts to either hold constant or to gradually increase the brake pressure.
