ABSTRACT:
A suspension control method for controlling suspensions equipped with variable damping force shock absorbers. First, an ideal movement pattern for restoring the sprung mass from a local highest or lowest position to a neutral position is previously determined. After the sprung mass has attained its local highest or lowest position, the control amount for altering the damping force of the shock absorber is successively calculated so that the sprung mass actually follows the ideal movement pattern. As a result, the sprung mass in its local lowest or highest position can swiftly returned to the neutral position in a semi-cycle.
