ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a suspension control apparatus for a vehicle ensuring good comfort regardless of a waving road surface condition. A control signal adjusting portion sends a control signal for decreasing a damping coefficient for an extension side to a control signal emitting portion when an absolute value of downward acceleration of sprung mass exceeds a sprung mass acceleration reference value. When the vehicle reaches the top of an undulation and the absolute value of the downward acceleration of the sprung mass exceeds the sprung mass acceleration reference value, the control signal adjusting portion sends the control signal for decreasing a damping coefficient for the extension side to the control signal emitting portion so that a shock absorber of variable damping coefficient type can easily be displaced toward the extension side. Thus, relative displacement between a vehicle wheel and a vehicle body can easily be achieved toward the extension side, thereby suppressing the downward acceleration of the vehicle body. Consequently, the driver and passenger(s) do not feel bad because they do not feel as if they are thrown upwardly.
