ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension apparatus having a fluid spring chamber provided for each wheel and inserted between the wheel and a vehicle body, a fluid supply unit for supplying a fluid to each fluid spring chamber through a supply valve, a fluid exhaust unit for exhausting the fluid from each fluid spring chamber through an exhaust valve, a roll amount sensor for detecting a roll amount of the vehicle body, and a roll controller for setting a control target corresponding to the roll amount detected by the roll amount sensor and executing roll control in which the supply valves corresponding to the fluid spring chambers at a contracting side with respect to a direction of roll generated in the vehicle body and the exhaust valves corresponding to the fluid spring chambers at an expanding side are opened in accordance with the control target, includes a pressure sensor for detecting an internal pressures in the fluid spring chamber at one of front and rear sides, and an internal pressure relationship memory for storing a mutual relationship between the internal pressure in the fluid spring chambers at the front and rear sides, wherein the control unit calculates control targets at the front and rear sides with reference to said mutual relationship of said internal pressure relationship memory on the basis of the internal pressure detected by the pressure sensor and executes roll control in accordance with the control targets, thereby supplying/exhausting the fluid in/from the fluid spring chambers at the front and rear sides.
