ABSTRACT:
In suspension control system and method for controlling a damping force characteristic of at least a pair of at least a pair of longitudinally spaced apart positioned shock absorbers located at a cabin of a cab over type truck, a behavior of the cab is detected, a control signal is developed which is to be supplied to a damping force characteristic varying member of each corresponding shock absorber to control the damping force characteristic of the corresponding shock absorber on the basis of a reference control rule which enables optimally a suppression of the vehicle cab behavior under a predetermined vehicle reference condition according to the detected vehicle cab behavior, vibration conditions on at least the longitudinally spaced apart positions of the vehicle cab is detected, a comparison value which is a result of a level comparison between the level of the cab longitudinal direction vibration conditions detected at the step c) of the vehicle cab and that under a reference condition of the cab over type truck is determined, a correction coefficient is developed for the control signal to be supplied to the damping force characteristic varying member of each corresponding shock absorber so as to correct the basic damping force characteristic control for each shock absorber according to the comparison value, and the control signal which is corrected by the correction coefficient is outputted to the damping force characteristic varying member of each corresponding shock absorber.
