Vehicle control apparatus and vehicle control system

A vehicle control apparatus configured to control an actuator provided between a vehicle body and a wheel of a vehicle, the actuator being configured to change a force for suppressing a relative displacement between the vehicle body and the wheel, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:

• a posture stability control portion configured to determine an instruction value for controlling the actuator according to an input change in a posture of the vehicle;
• a ride comfort control portion configured to determine an instruction value for controlling the actuator according to an input sprung vibration of the vehicle;
• and
• an instruction value calculation portion configured to determine an instruction value directed to the actuator based on both the instruction values of the posture stability control portion and the ride comfort control portion,
• wherein the instruction value calculation portion prioritizes the instruction value of the ride comfort control portion when a value indicating the change in the posture of the vehicle is equal to or larger than a predetermined value and a value indicating a sprung vibration in a sprung resonance frequency band is larger than a predetermined value.
