Abstract
A suspension control apparatus controls a suspension device to be attached to wheels of a movable body. The suspension device includes an active suspension capable of adjusting a vehicle height, and a damper capable of adjusting a damping force. The suspension control apparatus includes a road surface shape measurement device that obtains a road surface shape, an actuator control device that controls driving of the suspension device, and an actuator drive selection device that changes driving of the suspension device based on information obtained by the road surface shape measurement device. The suspension control apparatus and a suspension control method suppress road surface vibration transmitted to a vehicle body and reduces power consumption by estimating the road surface shape in front of the vehicle.
