Abstract
A vehicle steering assist device in which the steering assist ECU calculates a target steering angle for driving a vehicle along a traveling path, and is vehicle steering assist device that a calculates a target steering guide torque for facilitating the steering angle to become a target steering angle by reducing a return torque for urging the steering wheel to a neutral position in an area where the steering angle is smaller than the target steering angle, wherein when the steering angular velocity is higher than the target steering angular velocity, the steering support ECU calculates a target steering angular velocity control torque acting in a direction opposite to a direction in which the steering angle changes, and controls the control steering torque generating device so as to generate a control steering torque including a sum of the target steering guide torque and the target steering angular velocity control torque.
