Slip control deceleration signal filtering system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for filtering out disturbances in the form of short term wheel acceleration signals when the wheel exhibits an overall deceleration, so that a more accurate deceleration signal can be used for control of drive slippage. Wheel speed v is measured at intervals T.sub.A and speed changes for each interval are determined. When a change is negative or zero following a positive change in a previous interval, the wheel speed is stored as a maximum speed v.sub.max while v continues to be measured and a counter determines the period of time .DELTA.t between the occurrence of v.sub.max and the instantaneous value v. Beginning at a predetermined filtering time .DELTA.T after storing v.sub.max, a quotient .DELTA.v/.DELTA.t representing the filtered slope of the value v is determined and used as a control variable to regulate wheel slippage.
