ABSTRACT:
A suspension control system for use with an automotive vehicle supported on front and rear road pairs of road wheels. Shock absorbers are provided between sprung and unsprung masses of the vehicle at the front and rear road wheel side tower positions for providing variable damping force characteristics. First behaviors of the vehicle at the front road wheel side tower positions are sensed. A predetermined transfer function is used to calculate second behaviors of the vehicle at the rear road wheel side tower positions based, on the sensed first vehicle behaviors. The damping force characteristics of the shock absorbers mounted at the front road wheel side tower positions are controlled based on the sensed first vehicle behaviors. The damping force characteristics of the shock absorbers mounted at the rear road wheel side tower positions are controlled based on the calculated second vehicle behaviors.
