Anti-skid control system for an electrically operated vehicle

An anti-skid control system for an electrically operated vehicle having an electric motor operatively connected to a wheel of said vehicle and a regenerative braking system connected to said electric motor, comprising;

• a wheel speed detector for detecting a wheel speed of said wheel;
• a vehicle controller including skid detection means for detecting a skidding condition of said wheel in response to said output signal of said wheel speed detector, and means for setting a desired decreasing wheel speed when said skid detection means detects the skidding condition of said wheel;
• a motor controller connected to said vehicle controller for controlling a regenerative braking torque of said electric motor in accordance with a control mode selected from a torque control mode for providing the regenerative braking torque in proportion to operation of a brake operating member, and a rotation control mode for controlling the regenerative braking torque to rotate said electric motor at a predetermined speed corresponding to the desired decreasing wheel speed, said vehicle controller controlling said motor controller to change said torque control mode to said rotation control mode when said skid detection means detects the skidding condition.
