Control device for an automotive vehicle having an antiskid brake system and differentials

摘要

A control device for an automotive vehicle comprises a differential disposed between wheels or wheel axles of a vehicle an antiskid brake control device to control an antiskid brake device which is capable of adjusting a brake pressure applied to a brake device of the vehicle to prevent wheels of the vehicle from locking, a differential limiting control device having a differential limiting device being capable of controlling and transferring a differential limit to the differential, and operating to decrease the differential limit while the antiskid brake device is operating, such that when either the antiskid brake control device or said differential control device fails, the non-failing control device receives a failure signal from the failing control device and the non-failing control device controls the vehicle towards a stable condition or increases a brake force.
