Abstract
A door opening/closing control device includes: a controller controlling driving of an actuator opening or closing a door; a position detector detecting an opening/closing position of the door; a speed calculator calculating an opening/closing speed of the door based on a temporal change in the opening/closing position detected by the position detector; and a target assisting force calculator calculating target assisting force based on the opening/closing position and the opening/closing speed of the door. The controller controls the driving of the actuator to assist an operation of opening or closing the door based on the target assisting force calculated by the target assisting force calculator. Further, the controller controls the driving of the actuator such that the door is fully closed upon judgment that the opening/closing position of the door is in the vicinity of the fully closed position based on the opening/closing position detected by the position detector.
