る。(Operation) According to the steering control apparatus for a front-rear-wheel steered vehicle according to the present invention, the temporal change in the turning angle of the rear wheel occurs substantially corresponding to the friction coefficient of the traveling road surface, and the determined target steering of the rear wheel is determined. In order to correct the force so as to be smaller when the temporal change is large according to the temporal change in the steering angle of the front wheels, stability can be improved at a normal steering speed, and when the steering speed is high, It can promote yawing, and in addition, the steering angular velocity of the rear wheels, that is, the transient steering angle, increases when the friction coefficient of the running road surface is small, and the stability on a road surface with a low friction coefficient can be improved. As a result, characteristics that depend on the friction coefficient of the traveling road surface can be given to the turning angle of the rear wheels, and good turning characteristics can be obtained regardless of the friction coefficient of the traveling road surface.
