Electric oil pump control device

An electric oil pump control device, comprising:

• a driving source;
• a driving source controller for activating and suspending operation of the driving source under a predetermined condition;
• a first pump;
• a second pump driven by electrical energy;
• a pump controller for operating the second pump when the first pump is not operating;
• and
• a hydraulic mechanism driven by oil pressure supplied from the first pump and the second pump,
• wherein
• the pump controller causes the second pump to operate until a successive operating time of the second pump exceeds a predetermined acceptable operation time, and
• the acceptable operation time is set according to a measured value of physical property indicative of a state of the vehicle.
