Abstract
A shock absorber control system for controlling the damping force of a variable shock absorber comprises a speed sensor for generating a signal indicative of the wheel speed of at least one wheel of the vehicle and a control unit for controlling the damping force. The control unit derives the acceleration from the wheel speed signal and compares the derived acceleration with upper and lower references. The damping force control is effected when the acceleration varies successively so as to assume both values outside the range between the upper and lower references.
