ABSTRACT:
A steering device with a constitution in which an operation unit and steerable wheels are not mechanically connected, has a target turning angle setting device which sets a target turning angle of the steerable wheels according to an operation amount of the operation unit, a turning angle measuring device which measures an actual turning angle of the steerable wheels, and a turning actuator which turns the steerable wheels according to a deviation between the target turning angle and the actual turning angle, wherein, when an operating direction of the operation unit is reversed, the target turning angle setting device sets the target turning angle according to the actual turning angle which is measured by the turning angle measuring device at a time of reversing.
