Wiping device

Abstract

Provided is a wiping device. This wiping device reciprocates a wiper blade by driving a power source by using a prescribed drive signal and corrects the reversing position of the wiper blade by changing the drive signal in accordance with wind pressure applied on the wiper blade. The wiping device includes a drive control unit that acquires a first wind pressure estimation value based on a vehicle speed and a second wind pressure estimation value based on the drive signal, corrects the reversing position on the basis of the first wind pressure estimation value when the first wind pressure estimation value is greater than the second wind pressure estimation value, and corrects the reversing position on the basis of the second wind pressure estimation value when the first wind pressure estimation value is equal to or smaller than the second wind pressure estimation value.
