Wheel reference balance estimator

A brake control system, comprising:

• an antiskid control (ASK) configured to:
• receive a first wheel speed value to calculate a first wheel reference speed (WRS) and a second wheel speed value to calculate a second WRS, the first WRS comprising a value corresponding to the first wheel speed value when no brakes are applied;
• calculate a wheel reference estimate (WRE) using the first WRS and the second WRS, the first WRE being an average of at least the first WRS and the second WRS;
• and
• determine if at least one of the first WRS and the second WRS is within a threshold value of the WRE.

A brake control system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause an antiskid control (ASK) to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first wheel speed;
• calculating a first wheel reference speed (WRS), the first WRS comprising a value corresponding to the first wheel speed when no brakes are applied;
• calculating a first wheel reference estimate (WRE), the first WRE being an average of the first WRS;
• and
• determining if the first WRS is within a threshold value of the first WRE.
