    Abstract: A controller as a control apparatus controls a shock absorber of a control target wheel (a rear wheel) located in back of a detection target portion (a front wheel) of an unsprung acceleration sensor based on a detection value detected by the unsprung acceleration sensor on the front wheel side provided on a vehicle. In this case, the controller identifies a movement distance (a delay distance) from the detection target portion (the front wheel) and controls the shock absorber of the control target wheel (the rear wheel) located in back thereof based on the detection value of the unsprung acceleration sensor and a vehicle speed for each control period.

    Abstract: A suspension system includes: a variable damper configured to use a damping force variable actuator to adjust communication of working fluid generated in a passage by a relative movement between a vehicle body and a wheel, to thereby adjust a damping force over a range of a soft characteristic to a hard characteristic; and a controller configured to control the damping force variable actuator. The variable damper further includes a frequency response unit configured to reduce the damping force for vibration at a specific frequency. The controller is configured to increase a change rate from a soft side to a hard side at a time of controlling the damping force to reach a target damping force when a frequency of the relative movement between the vehicle body and the wheel is lower than a first frequency set to the frequency response unit.

    Abstract: In some examples, a service computing device receives, from a vehicle computing device onboard a vehicle, a communication including sensor data obtained from at least one sensor onboard the vehicle. Based on the communication, the service computing device determines a transmission delay corresponding to a difference between a time when the vehicle sent the communication and a time when the communication was received. Based on the communication, the service computing device determines a trajectory of the vehicle on a travel route. Based on the sensor data, transmission delay, wind direction and magnitude, surrounding objects, and trajectory, the service computing device determines vehicle control information for the vehicle. The service computing device sends, to the vehicle, based at least on the vehicle control information, at least one instruction causing the vehicle to perform at least one control operation for traversing one or more locations associated with the trajectory of the vehicle.
