Abstract
The regenerative braking device applies a regenerative braking force to the regenerative braking wheel. Friction braking devices impart friction braking force to each wheel. The control device includes a temperature acquisition unit, a required braking force acquisition unit, and a braking force control unit. The temperature acquisition unit acquires the surface temperature of the regenerative braking wheel while the vehicle is running. The required braking force acquisition unit acquires the required braking force based on the brake pedal operation amount. The braking force control unit distributes the required braking force to the regenerative braking force and the friction braking force of each wheel, and controls the distribution of the regenerative braking force to the required braking force so that the surface temperature of the regenerative braking wheel does not exceed a predetermined reference temperature while the vehicle is running, based on the surface temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit.
