A steering device according to the present invention includes: a steering input device including a reaction force actuator that applies a steering reaction force to a steering operation input member; and a control device including a steering gear ratio change unit that changes a steering gear ratio in accordance with a vehicle speed, a reaction force actuator control unit that controls an output amount of the reaction force actuator in accordance with an operation angular velocity of the steering operation input member, and a reaction force actuator output amount change unit that changes, based on the steering gear ratio, the output amount of the reaction force actuator. This makes it possible to set an appropriate steering reaction force applied to the steering operation input member, thereby stably reducing the operational burden on a driver.

Steer-by-wire type steering device

A steering control device, a steering control method, and a steering control system according to the present invention determines a rear wheel steering angle control command for returning a rear wheel steering angle to a predetermined steering angle earlier than a front wheel steering angle when steering wheel operation (that is, operation of a steering wheel) shifts from a state of additional turning to a state of cutback turning, in steering control that steers a rear wheel steering angle of a vehicle in opposite-phase with respect to a front wheel steering angle, and outputs the determined rear wheel steering angle control command to a rear wheel steering device, so that hysteresis of a yaw rate is reduced or eliminated, reducing or eliminating a sense of discomfort given to a driver.

Steering control device, steering control method, and steering control system

A steering control device for reducing a steering load on the driver by adjusting a gain of a rear wheel steering angle with respect to a front wheel steering angle operated by the driver according to a relative relationship between the vehicle and the parking frame to enable fine steering of the own vehicle near the parking frame when the four-wheel steering vehicle is parked. The steering control device is configured to control a rear wheel steering angle by a rear wheel steering system based on a front wheel steering angle operated by a driver, and includes an arithmetic device configured to reduce an absolute value of a gain of the rear wheel steering angle with respect to the front wheel steering angle as a positional relationship between an own vehicle and a parking frame comes closer when an own vehicle shifts to a parking driving mode.
