Abstract
A control device for a steer-by-wire type vehicle calculates a target turn angle being represented as a function of a steering angle of a steering wheel, and controls a turning device such that a turn angle of a wheel becomes the target turn angle. A variation range of the steering angle includes: an effective steering range in which the steering angle is an effective maximum steering angle or smaller; and an adjustment steering range in which the steering angle is between the effective maximum steering angle and a predetermined maximum steering angle. The target turn angle calculated according to the effective maximum steering angle is an effective maximum turn angle. The control device variably sets the function according to a road surface condition such that the effective maximum turn angle in a case of a low-μ condition is smaller than that in a case of a high-μ condition.
