Suspension control apparatus and method for a vehicle.

摘要

The suspension control apparatus includes a control unit 37 which is connected to receive the output signals from a transverse acceleration sensor 39, a vehicle-speed sensor 38 and a steering sensor 40 for calculating the rolling state of the vehicle due to a transverse acceleration and controlling the respective suspension units S based on the calculated rolling state of the vehicle so as to suppress rolling. The control unit determines the period of frequency of change or reversal of the direction of the detected transverse acceleration of the vehicle, and controls the suspension units so as to disable the roll-suppression control when the frequency of reversal exceeds a prescribed level. The control unit further performs the first roll-suppression control operation and stop subsequent roll-suppression control operations from the instant when the frequency of reversal of the direction of the transverse acceleration exceeds the prescribed level.
