Abstract

An electric suspension apparatus includes electric actuators provided for a plurality of wheels, respectively, an acceleration sensor disposed in each of the electric actuators, the acceleration sensor detecting a first acceleration, and an electric suspension control ECU controlling each of the electric actuators based on the first acceleration, and the electric suspension control ECU decreases a control amount to the electric actuator, in a case where a first speed based on the first acceleration in an up-down direction is equal to or less than a predetermined speed.

Claims (10)

1. An electric suspension apparatus comprising:

electric actuators provided for a plurality of wheels, respectively,

an acceleration sensor disposed in each of the electric actuators, the acceleration sensor detecting an acceleration of the wheel in an up-down direction, and

a processor controlling each of the electric actuators based on the acceleration of the wheel in the up-down direction, wherein the processor decreases a control amount to the electric actuator, in a case where a speed of the wheel in an up-down direction based on the acceleration of the wheel in the up-down direction is equal to or less than a predetermined speed.

2. The electric suspension apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor decreases the control amount to the electric actuator, in a case where a direction of an acceleration of a front wheel and a direction of an acceleration of a rear wheel are the same direction.

3. The electric suspension apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor increases the control amount to the electric actuator, in a case where a direction of an acceleration of a front wheel and a direction of an acceleration of a rear wheel are opposite directions.

4. The electric suspension apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor

corrects the acceleration of each of front left and right wheels, by subtracting an average value of the accelerations of rear left and right wheels from the acceleration of each of the front left and right wheels,

corrects the acceleration of each of the rear left and right wheels, by subtracting an average value of the accelerations of the front left and right wheels from the acceleration of each of the rear left and right wheels, and

controls the electric actuator based on a corrected acceleration of each wheel.
