Abstract

See full text

The posture of a vehicle is controlled using a specific variable damping force damper without the necessity of changing over the variable damping force damper frequently and at a high rate and without using a vehicle height sensor. A variable damping force damper U having at least two change-over modes including a mode in which the compression side damping force is soft when the extension side damping force is hard and another mode in which the compression side damping force is hard when the extension side damping force is soft is interposed between a vehicle body D and a wheel E. The variable damping force damper U is changed over by means of an acceleration sensor J mounted on the vehicle body D and a controller M including an integrator P for converting a signal from the acceleration sensor J into a velocity signal and a calculation processing circuit Q for outputting a changing over signal to the variable damping force damper U in accordance with the velocity signal from the integrator P.
