ABSTRACT:
The present invention compensates for a variability in steering angle of a wheel when a vehicle has been stopped, thereby performing an accurate automatic steering. To guide a vehicle stopped at a start position via a reversing position to a target position, the vehicle is automatically steered based on data for a steering angle of a wheel relative to a previously stored traveling distance of the vehicle. The steering angle at the time when the vehicle is stopped at the start position (1) is varied every time and is not necessarily equal to an initial standard steering angle intended to start an automatic steering control. Therefore, at the start position, the automatic steering control of the vehicle is started after equalizing the steering angle of the wheel to the initial standard steering angle, so that the vehicle can be correctly guided to the target position.
