Electric parking brake control device

An electric parking brake control device for performing, in response to operation requests, an application process for controlling an electric actuator to move a friction member in a direction of being pressed against a rotation body that rotates integrally with a wheel, and a release process for controlling the electric actuator to move the friction member in a direction away from the rotation body, wherein

• when a new operation request is received during a period from a start of the application process or the release process to completion of the application process or the release process, respectively, control of operation of the electric actuator is not changed based on the new operation request,
• the electric parking brake control device is configured to:
• start an application process in response to an operation request when the operation request is an operation request for the application process;
• stop energization of the electric actuator to complete the application process when a current generated after an inrush current converges as determined by a predetermined time passing after energization of a motor of the electric actuator becomes equal to or greater than an application threshold when no new operation requests are received by the electric parking brake control device during the application process;
• and
• perform the application process until the current generated after the inrush current converges becomes equal to or greater than the application threshold when the electric parking brake control device receives a new operation request during the application process, and then stop energization of the electric actuator to complete the application process.
