Claim Text:
1. A steering control device comprising: a steering angle detection unit that detects a steering angle during a steering operation of a steering wheel performed by a driver; a corrected steering angle calculation unit that calculates a corrected steering angle by nonlinearly correcting the steering angle detected by the steering angle detection unit in accordance with a steering characteristic of a vehicle; a first steering parameter calculation unit that calculates the product of a steering angular velocity and a steering torque during the steering operation as a first steering parameter; a second steering parameter calculation unit that calculates the product of the corrected steering angle and a time differential value of the steering torque during the steering operation as a second steering parameter; a steering power calculation unit that calculates a steering power showing a steering type of the driver with respect to the steering wheel based on the first steering parameter and the second steering parameter; and a control amount calculation unit that calculates a target control amount of an actuator of a steering device based on the steering power.
