Abstract
A steering control device controls a steering device. The steering device includes a steering shaft, a turning wheel of a vehicle, the turning wheel turning due to rotation of the steering shaft, and a motor rotating the steering shaft. The steering control device includes a processor that executes a traveling environment information acquisition process and a look-ahead compensation process. In the traveling environment information acquisition process, the processor acquires information relevant to a traveling environment of the vehicle. In the look-ahead compensation process, the processor preliminarily rotates the steering shaft depending on a play compensation amount relevant to a predetermined turn direction. The processor determines an appropriate turn direction for the vehicle, as the predetermined turn direction, from the information relevant to the traveling environment.
