Abstract
A steering control device is configured to acquire a distance from a vehicle to obstacles detected by a distance detection sensor. The steering control device calculates a first target steering angle such that a steering angle increases for moving the vehicle in a direction away from the obstacle located on a left side with respect to a traveling direction as the vehicle travels as the distance to the obstacle decreases, and calculates a second target steering angle such that a steering angle increases for moving the vehicle in a direction away from the obstacle located on a right side with respect to the traveling direction as the vehicle travels as the distance to the obstacle decreases. Then, the steering control device adds the first and second target steering angles to calculate a final steering angle, and control the steered wheels of the vehicle based on the final steering angle.
