Claim 0:
1. A brake control device to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle having a hydraulic brake capable of generating a hydraulic braking force which is braking force converted from a fluid pressure to a wheel of the vehicle; and an electric parking brake capable of generating an electric braking force which is braking force different from the hydraulic braking force to the wheel and is provided by a wheel brake mechanism driven by a motor,
wherein the brake control device comprises an electric parking brake controller configured to:
determine a current target value which is a target value of an electric current through the motor, by using a target braking force,
control the electric parking brake by using the current target value, and
estimate the fluid pressure in the hydraulic brake by using a detection current which is a detection value of an electric current through the motor.
