Abstract:
1. A control device for controlling a variable damper of a wheel suspension system, comprising: a first sensor detecting a first dynamic state variable of a vehicle body, wherein the first dynamic state variable is one of a lateral acceleration, a fore and aft acceleration and a yaw rate; a damping force base value determining unit determining a target damping force base value according to the first dynamic state variable of the vehicle body; a second sensor detecting a second dynamic state variable of the vehicle body different from the first dynamic state variable wherein the second state variable comprises a vertical acceleration of a wheel supported by the wheel suspension system; a correction value determining unit determining a damping force correction value according to the detected second dynamic state variable; and a target damping force determining unit determining a target damping force by modifying the target damping force base value by using the damping force correction value.
