VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A steering control device for a vehicle, the steering control device performing control of a steering device having a steering mechanism (10) configured to steer wheels (15) in accordance with a steering angle of a steering wheel and a drive unit (40) configured to provide the steering mechanism (10) with steering power for the wheels (15), the steering control device comprising: a control unit (30) configured to control the drive unit (40) to provide the steering mechanism (10) with steering power so that the vehicle travels along a target traveling route, thereby executing automatic steering control to automatically perform steering of the steering mechanism (10); a detection unit (30) configured to detect an input torque input by a steering operation; and a calculation unit (30) configured to calculate a moving average value or integrated value of the input torque on the basis of an input torque detected during a period of time from a certain time before to a current point of time, wherein the control unit (30) releases the automatic steering control when the moving average value or integrated value of the input torque is a predetermined threshold or more.
