Claim:
1. A damper control device for controlling a damping force of a damper on the basis of a damper speed, the damper being interposed between a sprung member and an unsprung member in a vehicle, the damper control device comprising: a speed conversion unit that converts the damper speed to a control damper speed, wherein while the damper is accelerating, the speed conversion unit converts the damper speed so that signs of the control damper speed and the damper speed accord with each other and an absolute value of the control damper speed becomes an absolute value of the damper speed or more, and while the damper is decelerating, the damper speed is converted so that the signs of the control damper speed and the damper speed accord with each other and the absolute value of the control damper speed becomes the absolute value of the damper speed or less; and a control unit that controls the damping force of the damper by using the control damper speed acquired in the speed conversion unit.
