Abstract
A system for controlling damping force characteristics for respective shock absorbers, each shock absorber being interposed between a sprung mass and an unsprung mass, in which a control signal to control the damping force characteristic at either or both stroke sides of each shock absorber is derived by a control unit on the basis of a signal indicating a sprung mass behavior, a signal indicating a steering angular displacement of a vehicle steering system, and a signal indicating a steering angular velocity of the steering system. In addition, a control equation to determine the control signal value has various coefficients which are zeroed depending on whether a predetermined steering condition is established.
