ABSTRACT:
An anti-skid control circuit for a wheeled vehicle and a method of processor computation confirmation within such an anti-skid control circuit includes the confirmation of proper processor operation only at a certain one of the computation values. Rotation of a vehicle wheel Provides a pulse train the repetition rate of which is indicative of the vehicle speed. A sequence of program steps is repetitively executed in a microprocessor (17) over a fixed time interval with the microprocessor (17) repeating that same predetermined sequence of program steps during each successive said fixed time interval. A second pulse train is provided having one pulse for each repetition of the sequence of program steps. The speed of at least one vehicle wheel is repetitively computed according to the repetition rate of the first pulse train and the repetition rates of the first and second pulse trains are compared, and corrective action is initiated in the event that the compared repetition rates differ by more than a prescribed amount. The comparison is effected only at a certain specific wheel speed. Alternatively, a computed wheel speed may be compared to the fixed time interval and the anti-skid circuit allowed to continue in operation only so long as the compared wheel speed and time interval are within predetermined limits of one another. Again, the step of comparing is effected only at a certain specific wheel speed.
