摘要:
A cycle time of pulses converted from an electrical signal generated at a rotational sensor is counted. In determining a cycle of the pulses, either a rising edge or a falling edge of the pulse is selected. As the selection of the either edge affects accuracy of the rotational speed measurement, two modes are proposed. One is suitable for a lower speed range in which either of the rising and falling edges is selected for every pulse monitoring period considering the relative phase position of the pulse and the pulse monitoring period. The other is suitable for a higher speed range in which one fixed edge is utilized. Here the edge is selected depending on the winding direction of the electric wire of the pick-up coil of the rotational sensor and independent of the pulse monitoring period.

Sensors detect rotational speeds of respective vehicle wheels. A slip detection reference value is calculated from the detected rotational speeds of the vehicle wheels. Acceptable slip ranges for the respective vehicle wheels are determined in accordance with the calculated slip detection reference value. The rotational speeds of the vehicle wheels are compared with the corresponding acceptable slip ranges respectively. Slip controls of the respective vehicle wheels are performed when the rotational speeds of the vehicle wheels reside outside the corresponding acceptable slip ranges respectively. The highest of at least two of the rotational speeds of the vehicle wheels is selected. Differences between the respective rotational speeds of the vehicle wheels and the selected highest vehicle wheel rotational speed are calculated. The slip detection reference value is corrected in accordance with the respective calculated differences.

In an anti-skid control system for a motor vehicle there is provided a fail-safe control system for providing a compensation for a proper vehicle braking operation against the occurrence of failure of a hydraulic pressure control valve. The fail-safe control system includes a device for monitoring a control signal for controlling the operation of the control valve so that the hydraulic pressure applied to a wheel braking cylinder is regulated for preventing a wheel of the vehicle from skidding. The monitoring device detects the occurrence of failure of the control valve when the control signal indicative of one of the operation modes of the control valve is continuously generated more than a predetermined time period. In response to the detection, the fail-safe control system switches a directional control valve to the passage-opening condition so that the hydraulic pressure from a master cylinder can directly be applied to the wheel braking cylinder, thereby enabling the braking operation to be controlled by a vehicle driver.

Disclosed is an antiskid control system for a vehicle wherein the rotational acceleration of a wheel of the vehicle is detected and the rate of variation of the detected acceleration is detected upon the onset of speed reduction of the wheel. A pressure modulator, which is located in a hydraulic line between a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder, is responsive to the detected rate of variation of acceleration to provide a pressure relief action on the fluid pressurized by the master cylinder and supplies the modulated fluid to the wheel brake cylinder.

In an apparatus for detecting the abnormality of a rotational speed sensor adapted for, for example, an anti-skid control system, a time period within which a subsequent pulse will be generated by the rotational speed sensor in response to the rotation of a body of revolution such as wheel is estimated on the basis of the latest pulse interval of the pulses previously generated therefrom and a value corresponding to the force of inertia of the wheel developed on the braking operation thereof. The determination of abnormality of the rotational speed sensor is made when the subsequent pulse is not produced within the estimated time period. This is arranged based on the fact that the pulse interval depends upon the inertial force of the wheel. With the above arrangement, the abnormality detection of the speed sensor can be quickly made, so that a fail-safe control in a braking system can be speedily performed in response to the occurrence of abnormality of the speed sensor.

An abnormality determining apparatus is applied to a vehicle motion control apparatus in which a vehicle behavior sensor (yaw rate sensor, etc.) is integrally mounted to an integrated unit that is integrally composed of an HU (hydraulic unit) and ECU. In this abnormality determining apparatus, the pattern of the vibration noise appearing on the output from the vehicle behavior sensor (output from yaw rate sensor Yrfilpc, etc.) is obtained when various actuators such as motor, solenoid valves, or the like, that are mounted to the HU, are operated with a predetermined pattern for a primary check for the HU. When the pattern of the vibration noise is not within the predetermined normal pattern range, it is determined, according to the abnormal manner of the pattern of the vibration noise, that the abnormality of the vehicle behavior sensor, abnormal operation of the actuator in the HU, or the like occurs.

A relaying controller communicates with an external tool through a first communication path based on a first communication protocol and communicates with sub-controllers through a second communication path based on a second communication protocol, thus relaying communications between the external tool and the sub-controllers. The relaying controller includes a rewritable non-volatile memory having predetermined storage areas divided in correspondence with the sub-controllers. The relaying controller transmits, in response to a memory reading request from the sub-controller, a stored data in the corresponding storage area to the sub-controller through the second communication path, and writes, in response to a memory writing request from the sub-controller, a writing data received through the second communication path in the corresponding storage area. That is, the relaying controller executes accesses of the sub-controllers to the non-volatile memory.

The invention is directed to an arrangement for monitoring a road condition which determines the coefficient of friction of the road surface on the basis of a signal corresponding to an acceleration of a vehicle detected by an acceleration sensor. The signal is converted into one of at least two predetermined values by conversion means in response to a magnitude of the acceleration every cycle of a predetermined time period. The converted value is summed up by summing means by a predetermined number of consecutive cycles to provide a total value in the last cycle thereof which is stored in memory means. Then, in determination means, one of at least two standard values is selected in response to the condition of increase or decrease of the total value in the present cycle provided by the summing means as compared with the total value in the previous cycle stored in the memory means. And, the total value in the present cycle is compared with the above one of at least two standard values to produce a road condition signal corresponding to a result of comparison which represents the coefficient of friction of the road surface. The present system is applicable to an anti-skid control system for an automotive vehicle.

A wheel slipping control apparatus for controlling a braking hydraulic pressure to be applied to a wheel so as to perform an effective braking operation. The wheel slipping control apparatus comprises a control unit for generating a control signal in accordance with the wheel slipping state so as to perform a braking pressure control cycle so that the braking hydraulic pressure is set to a pressure decreasing mode and then to a pressure increasing mode. In the control unit, one of the braking pressure control cycles to be performed is determined as a learning control cycle to obtain a learning pressure-decreased value decremented in the learning control cycle and to obtain a learning pressure-increased value incremented in the learning control cycle. A present pressure-decreased value decremented in a control cycle after the learning control cycle is obtained to calculate a target pressure-increased value on the basis of the obtained learning pressure-decreased value and learning pressure-increased value whereby the braking hydraulic pressure is first increased to the vicinity of a wheel locking limit pressure after decreased in the pressure-decreasing mode.
