Abstract
A steering control device for a vehicle has a steering assistance means () which performs steering assistance processing for driving an actuator () so that a vehicle () travels along a lane recognized by a lane recognition means () from an image acquired by an image acquisition means (); a side displacement amount calculation means () which calculates a displacement amount in the lane width direction between the position of the vehicle () and the center of the recognized lane; a complexity calculation means () which calculates the complexity of the acquired image; and a steering assistance inhibition means () which inhibits, according to the displacement amount in the lane width direction calculated based on the lane recognized from the acquired image at a given time point and the complexity of the acquired image, steering assistance processing based on the lane by the steering assistance means (). This prevents inappropriate steering control based on an incorrectly recognized lane when performing the steering control of the vehicle so that the vehicle travels along the lane recognized from the road image.
