Abstract
An actively controlled suspension system employs a pressure control valve which is operable in response to a control signal and controls fluid pressure in the fluid chamber of a hydraulic cylinder as a replacement for the conventional hydraulic shock absorber. The pressure control valve is associated with a controller which detects bounding and rebounding acceleration and stroke speed in bounding and rebounding motion for deriving a control signal to operate the pressure control valve to absorb vibration energy to be transmitted between a vehicle body and a suspension member.
