ABSTRACT:
An antilock control device is provided with sensors for sensing wheel speed of each of wheels mounted in the vehicle and a calculator for calculating a highest wheel speed, a second highest wheel speed and a lowest wheel speed. The calculator has a step for detecting a condition such that a difference between the second highest wheel speed and the lowest wheel speed is greater than a first threshold and, at the same time, a difference between the highest wheel speed and the second highest wheel speed is greater than a second threshold, and a step for counting a predetermined time period. When the condition is detected for a period longer that the predetermined time period, the wheel with the highest wheel speed is identified as a small diameter wheel which should be inhibited from being used for calculation of the estimated vehicle speed.
