CONTROLLER, VEHICLE, AND CONTROL METHOD

The present invention obtains a controller capable of improving riding comfort of an occupant at the time when a vehicle that has jumped lands on the ground in comparison with the background art. The controller according to the present invention is a controller that is mounted to a vehicle including a shock absorber in a damping force adjustment type between a vehicle body and a wheel and controls a damping force of the shock absorber. The controller includes: a jump detecting section detecting that the vehicle has jumped; and a control section that executes landing damping force control for restricting the damping force of the shock absorber during compression to be equal to or smaller than a prescribed damping force when the jump detecting section detects a jump of the vehicle.
