Abstract

An active suspension control system performs anti-rolling control in response to vehicular rolling by inducing counter rolling in a direction opposite to the vehicular body rolling direction. Magnitude of counter rolling is differentiated between front and rear suspension systems for providing desired steering characteristics. The steering characteristics is adjusted depending on the demand on stability factor in cornering.
