Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 5:
6. The preview damping control apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 2, wherein
the vehicle has a control force generator configured to generate a control force acting between the sprung and an unsprung, and
the first control unit is configured to determine predicted wheel passage positions where the left and right wheels are predicted to pass through, acquire road surface displacement-related values or assumed road surface displacement-related values at the predicted wheel passage positions in the preview reference database by communication, calculate a target preview damping control force for reducing a vibration of the sprung when each wheel passes through the corresponding predicted wheel passage position based on the acquired road surface displacement-related value or the acquired assumed road surface displacement-related value, and control the control force generator so that a control force generated when the corresponding wheel passes through the corresponding predicted wheel passage position becomes the corresponding target preview damping control force.
