ABSTRACT:
Each of suspensions provided on a vehicle includes a shock absorber capable of adjusting the damping force and an air spring capable of adjusting the spring constant. Small ports are provided respectively on two front sides of a car body suspended from the suspensions and pipes each of which is connected on one end to one of the small ports and connected on the other ends to a pressure sensor. A control unit calculates the size of a lateral force according to signals of a vehicle speed sensor provided on the car body and the pressure sensor and controls each of the suspensions such that the damping force of the shock absorber and the spring constant of the air spring are made rigid when the size of the lateral force exceeds a certain value.
