Abstract

The apparatus is composed of calculation of a vehicle wheel speed of each vehicle wheel for each of control cycles, calculation of tolerance maximum reduced speed amount approximately proportional to the .mu. value of the road surface by a wheel cylinder fluid pressure, judgement as to whether the vehicle wheel speed at this time is reduced in speed larger than the estimated vehicle body speed at the last time in the tolerance maximum reduced speed amount at the reduced speed time. When the reduced speed is much larger, a value reduced in the tolerance maximum reduced speed amount from the estimated vehicle body speed at the last time is made an estimated vehicle body speed at this time. On the other hand, when the reduced speed is much smaller, the vehicle wheel speed at this time is made an estimated vehicle body speed at this time.
