Original Abstract Submitted
In a suspension control system, an actuator adjusts a suspension stroke. An acquisition unit acquires, from a road surface data map in which a road surface displacement-associated value associated with vertical displacement of a road surface is associated with a position, a road surface displacement-associated value at a predicted passing position of a control target wheel a predetermined time after a present time. A calculation unit calculates a target control force based on the acquired road surface displacement-associated value. A control unit controls the actuator such that a control force generated by the actuator coincides with the target control force when the control target wheel passes the predicted passing position. The calculation unit calculates the target control force such that an amount of change in the target control force per unit time becomes smaller when a blinker of a vehicle starts operating than when the blinker is not operating.
