Abstract

See full text

A controller of each suspension unit is provided with a time difference setting block for deriving a time difference between a time at which front wheels have passed over a given portion of road surface and a time at which rear wheels have passed on the same portion of road surface, a correction block for deriving a correction value corresponding to a difference between a required optimum damping force on each of the front wheel suspension units and actually generated damping force on each of the front wheel suspension units, and a rear wheel suspension controlling block for deriving an optimum damping force on the basis of a presently input signal derived from a vehicular behavior detector installed on a rear wheel side and the correction value past by the time difference and outputting a change control signal to the damping force coefficient changing mechanism installed for the rear wheel suspension units.
