Abstract
A vehicle height control device 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 a suspension arm is arranged between a wheel carrier and a vehicle body so that the rotational axis when viewed in the lateral direction of the vehicle draws a locus inclined backward as the wheel moves up and down, the vehicle height control device includes a vehicle height adjustment device and an electronic control device that controls the vehicle height adjustment device, and the electronic control device acquires information on an index indicating an equivalent moment of inertia of the drive system, and controls the vehicle height adjustment device such that the smaller the equivalent moment of inertia indicated by the index, the lower the vehicle height.
