Abstract: A traction control method/apparatus for motor vehicles is arranged such that at an initial stage of the starting or accelerating operation of the motor vehicle where a large amount of slip of the driving wheel tends to be caused, a braking force is sufficiently applied to the driving wheel to restrain the slip thereof; and after the engine output is adjusted through accelerator or throttle control which is performed simultaneously with the application of the braking force, the procedure for controlling the brake hydraulic pressure is changed to eliminate the difference between the lefthand and righthand driving wheel speeds.

Abstract: The brake control system for use in a vehicle includes a compression cylinder device and a decompression cylinder device, which communicate with a fluid passage between a gate valve and a wheel cylinder. A compression piston is reciprocately disposed inside of the compression cylinder device and a decompression piston is reciprocately disposed inside of the decompression cylinder device. A close valve of a normally close type is provided between the fluid passage and the decompression cylinder device. The system further includes a valve system provided between an accumulator and the compression and decompression cylinder devices. The valve system is provided for selectively supplying the hydraulic pressure in the accumulator to the compression and the decompression cylinder devices during skid-preventing and acceleration slip-preventing controls.
