Abstract
A control device of a variable damping force damper for controlling a damping force of a damper used in a vehicle suspension system comprises: relative displacement detection means for detecting a value corresponding to a relative displacement between a vehicle body and a wheel in a vertical direction; relative speed detection means for detecting a value corresponding to a relative speed between the vehicle body and the wheel in the vertical direction; multiplying means for multiplying the value corresponding to the relative displacement and the value corresponding to the relative speed; and means for setting a damping force control target value of the damper based on the output from the multiplying means.
