Abstract
A steering control device is provided that calculates a white line approach suppression steering reaction force that is based on a distance in which a host vehicle is separated from either a left or a right white line when the host vehicle approaches the left or a right white line. The steering control device applies a steering reaction force to a steering unit that receives steering input from a driver, based on the white line approach suppression steering reaction force, and upon determining that the other among the left and right white lines cannot be detected and a distance between the host vehicle and the left or right white line is decreasing, the white line approach suppression steering reaction force is limited.
