Abstract
A damping coefficient control device for a shock absorber applied to a vehicle equipped with a wheel that is rotatably supported about a rotational axis and has a tire, and a drive system that drives the wheel via a transmission by an engine, in which the damping coefficient control device includes a variable damping coefficient shock absorber arranged between a wheel carrier and a vehicle body and an electronic control unit that controls the shock absorber, and the electronic control unit acquires information on an index indicating an equivalent moment of inertia of the drive system, and controls the damping coefficient of the shock absorber such that the smaller the equivalent moment of inertia indicated by the index, the larger the damping coefficient of the shock absorber.
