Abstract
The disclosed suspension control system includes actuators for adjusting damping forces of front and rear variable-damping force shock absorbers. Also provided are front and rear vertical acceleration detectors. Usual control for the actuators are performed on the basis of the vertical accelerations detected by the vertical acceleration detectors. A control signal adjustor is provided to adjust a control signal to be sent to the actuator for the rear shock absorber such that the damping force of the rear shock absorber is reduced when the vertical acceleration detected by the front vertical acceleration detector or a rate of change thereof exceeds a preset reference value.
