Abstract
A brake temperature detection device is configured detect brake temperature more accurately. In a situation in which the temperature in the vicinity of the brake has risen above the atmospheric temperature, indicated by a value read off of the detection signal of the temperature sensor, for example when traveling in congested traffic, a value to correct atmospheric temperature is determined, and atmospheric temperature is corrected on the basis of that atmospheric temperature correction value. Subsequently, brake temperature is calculated on the basis of the corrected air temperature. As a result of this configuration, it is possible to have the calculated brake temperature approach the actual brake temperature. This makes it possible to detect brake temperature more accurately.
