VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

Provided are a variable-damping-force shock absorber of adjustable damping force, a sprung mass vibration damping control means for calculating a sprung-mass vibration damping control amount constituting damping force for minimizing sprung mass vibration, an unsprung mass vibration damping control means for calculating an unsprung-mass vibration damping control amount constituting damping force for minimizing unsprung mass vibration, and a damping force control means for calculating a damping force control amount on the basis of whichever of the sprung-mass vibration damping control amount and the unsprung-mass vibration damping control amount is greater and controlling the damping force of the variable-damping-force shock absorber.
