DAMPER CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A damper control apparatus for damping vibration of an unsprung member by controlling a damping force of a damper in a vehicle, the damper being interposed between a sprung member and the unsprung member, the damper control apparatus comprising:
- a vibration level detecting unit configured to detect a vibration level, the vibration level serving as a magnitude of vibration of the unsprung member;
a stroke speed detecting unit configured to detect a stroke speed of the damper; and
a command value calculating unit configured to determine a control command value on the basis of the vibration level of the unsprung member and the stroke speed of the damper, the control command value being a command value for controlling the damping force of the damper.

Abstract
A damper control apparatus damps vibration of an unsprung member by controlling a damping force of a damper in a vehicle, the damper being interposed between a sprung member and the unsprung member. The damper control apparatus includes a vibration level detecting unit that detects a vibration level serving as a magnitude of the vibration of the unsprung member, and a stroke speed detecting unit that detects a stroke speed of the damper. The damper control apparatus further includes a command value calculating unit that determines a control command value, the control command value is a command value for controlling the damping force of the damper on the basis of the vibration level of the unsprung member and the stroke speed of the damper.
