Abstract: An object of the invention is to increase driving force of driving wheels at starting a vehicle, when the vehicle runs on a ?-sprit road. At first, a road surface for a driving wheel is detected, which has a higher coefficient of friction than that of a road surface for the other driving wheel. An operation for controlling grounded load of the driving wheels is carried out during a period, in which differential rotations of the driving wheels are limited. The grounded load of the driving wheel which is traveling on a high-? road is increased, whereas the grounded load of the other driving wheel which is traveling on a low-? road is decreased.

Abstract: A control device for an electric vehicle stopping at a slope road which reduces a power consumption of the electric motor when the vehicle is stopping at the slope road with the generation of a drive torque. The device judges the stopping state of the vehicle at the slope road when a condition that a throttle opening degree is not zero, that the drive torque is not zero, and that a vehicle speed is zero continues for a predetermined time, applies a hydraulic pressure P relative to wheel cylinder, and decreases the drive torque outputting to the motor to be zero. The device judges a release of the stopping state at the slope road when a condition that a throttle opening degree becomes greater than a throttle opening degree under the vehicle stopping state at the slope road, recovers the drive torque, and gradually releases an application of the hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinder.

The anti-lock control apparatus includes a hydraulic pump, a reservoir and a changeover device which is selectively changed over at least between a first condition which permits an increase in the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders of at least one hydraulic circuit and a second condition which permits an decrease in the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders of at least one hydraulic circuit in response to the locking condition of the road wheels.

Abstract: A fluid pressure controlling solenoid valve is disclosed for producing an oil pressure which drives a brake pressure controlling piston in a manner such that an brake oil pressure applied to the brakes associated with wheels in response to the depression of a brake pedal is adjusted to a low value in order to prevent a high slip ratio of wheels with respect to a road surface and to a high value when the slip ratio is reduced. A switching solenoid valve is assembled on the upper end face of an intermediate member formed of a magnetic material and having a first fluid path extending therethrough from its upper to its lower end face for selectively connecting the first fluid path with a reduced pressure input port and a high pressure input port. A switching solenoid valve which opens or closes the connection between the first fluid path and the output port is assembled on the lower end face of the intermediate member.
