Motor-driven steering controller

A motor-driven steering controller for controlling a steering wheel (1) of a vehicle. The controller includes a steering torque controlling unit (B0), a braking force estimating unit (B1), a right and left braking force difference estimating unit (B2) and an assist steering torque providing unit (B3). The steering torque controlling unit (B0) controls a steering torque on the steering wheel depending (1) on a steering operation. The braking force estimating unit (B1) estimates braking forces to be imposed on wheels of the vehicle. The right and left braking force difference estimating unit (B2) estimates difference between the braking forces to be imposed on the right and left wheels each estimated by the braking forces estimating unit (B1). The assist steering torque providing unit (B3) provides an assist steering torque for the steering torque controlling unit (B0) on the basis of the difference in braking force between right and left wheels estimated by the right and left braking force difference estimating unit (B2).
