ABSTRACT:
An active suspension apparatus detects an absolute acceleration Z in a passenger's compartment of a vehicle and a relative displacement X between an axle and a body, calculates an absolute value .vertline.Z.vertline. of the absolute acceleration, an absolute value .vertline.X.vertline. of the relative displacement and an absolute value .vertline.X.vertline. of a rate X of change in relative displacement, multiplies the absolute values .vertline.X.vertline., .vertline.X.vertline., and .vertline.Z.vertline. with coefficients A11, A12 and A13, and adding the resultant product to obtain a sum Y=A11.vertline.X.vertline.+A12.vertline.X.vertline.+A13.vertline.Z.vertlin e., compares the sum Y with a reference value C for evaluating the predetermined movement of the vehicle, and controls the damping forces of the hydropneumatic springs, thereby improving steering stability and riding comfort.
