Abstract
An idle reduction control device mounted on a vehicle equipped with an engine and a brake comprises: a pumping operation detector that detects a pumping operation of the brake; and an engine controller that controls a start and a stop of the engine. The engine controller stops the engine after elapse of a predetermined time since a stop of the vehicle, when a number of the pumping operations during a deceleration period before the stop of the vehicle is less than a predetermined value.
