ABSTRACT:
A wheel spin control apparatus for use in an automotive vehicle having left- and right-hand driven wheels includes spin detectors for detecting the occurrence of an excessive wheel spin in the left- and right-hand driven wheels, and braking controllers for applying braking forces to the left- and right-hand driven wheels in response to the detection of the excessive wheel spins to suppress the excessive wheel spin, and thereafter gradually weakening the braking forces. The wheel spin control apparatus further includes a torque controller for controlling an output power of an engine employed to drive the left- and right-hand driven wheels such that the engine output power is gradually decreased as at least one of the braking forces is gradually weakened, whereby the suppression of the driven wheel effected by the braking controller is gradually taken over or superseded by the torque controller.
