To provide a control device which can improve the riding comfort of an occupant when a vehicle that has jumped makes a landing in comparison to a conventional technique.SOLUTION: A control device according to the present invention is mounted on a vehicle that has an attenuation force adjustment type shock absorber provided between a vehicle body and a wheel and controls the attenuation force of the shock absorber. The control device comprises: a jump detection unit which detects that the vehicle jumps; and a control unit which performs landing-time attenuation force control for restricting the attenuation force in the contraction of the shock absorber to be equal to or less than prescribed attenuation force when the jump detection unit detects the jump of the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】本発明は、ジャンプした車両が着陸した際の搭乗者の乗り心地を従来よりも向上させることができる制御装置を得るものである。【解決手段】本発明に係る制御装置は、車体と車輪との間に設けられた減衰力調整式のショックアブソーバーを備えた車両に搭載され、前記ショックアブソーバーの減衰力を制御する制御装置であって、前記制御装置は、前記車両がジャンプしたことを検出するジャンプ検出部と、前記ジャンプ検出部が前記車両のジャンプを検出した際、前記ショックアブソーバーの収縮時の減衰力を規定減衰力以下に制限する着陸時減衰力制御を行う制御部と、を備えている。【選択図】図８
