Suspension control apparatus

摘要

To control a wheel load of a wheel according to a lateral acceleration of a vehicle so as to enhance stability of the vehicle, provided is a suspension control apparatus, which is configured to control a wheel-load adjusting mechanism in at least one of the following manners: the wheel load of a front wheel is increased or is made unlikely to be reduced relative to the wheel load of a rear wheel when an absolute value of the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is increasing; and the wheel load of the rear wheel is increased or is made unlikely to be reduced relative to the wheel load of the front wheel when the absolute value of the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is reducing.

1. A suspension control apparatus, comprising:
at least one wheel-load adjusting mechanism provided between a vehicle body and at least one wheel of a vehicle, and capable of adjusting a wheel load of the wheel by adjusting a force generated in a direction of a distance between the vehicle body and the wheel; and a controller configured to control the wheel-load adjusting mechanism to perform a wheel load control, wherein the controller controls the wheel-load adjusting mechanism in at least one of the following manners:
the wheel load of at least one front wheel is increased or is substantially prevented from being decreased relative to that before an absolute value of a lateral acceleration of the vehicle is increasing, according to a damping-force command signal proportional to a vertical acceleration between the vehicle body and the at least one front wheel of the vehicle, when the absolute value of a lateral acceleration of the vehicle is increasing; andthe wheel load of at least one rear wheel is increased or is substantially prevented from being decreased relative to that before the absolute value of the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is decreasing, according to the damping-force command signal proportional to the vertical acceleration between the vehicle body and the at least one rear wheel of the vehicle, when the absolute value of the lateral acceleration of the vehicle is decreasing.
