ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering control device capable of executing automatic steering and manual steering includes: an automatic control amount-setting device that sets a target automatic control amount based on information about vehicle behavior and ambient environment; a steering control amount-setting device that sets a target steering amount based on a manual steering amount input by a driver and the set target automatic control amount; and a steering device that steers based on the set target steering amount. When the target automatic control amount contributes more in the setting of the target steering amount than the manual steering amount does, the steering control amount-setting device sets the target steering amount so as to better the responsiveness in the lateral shift of the vehicle relatively to the responsiveness in the turning of the vehicle, in comparison with when the target automatic amount does not contribute more than the manual steering amount.
