Steering control system for use in a track-laying vehicle
 A steering control system for use in a track-laying vehicle comprising: a power source; a steering motor driven by the rotation of the power source, for driving crawler belts provided at both sides of the vehicle such that a relative travel difference is caused between the crawler belts, thereby turning the vehicle rightwards or leftwards; a steering instructing device which can be displaced from a neutral position by operation and which instructs, according to the direction and distance of its displacement, a turning direction and a turning radius for the vehicle, the turning radius decreasing as the displacement distance increases; a displacement detector for detecting the displacement of the steering instructing device; and a steering motor revolution speed control unit for obtaining a target steering motor revolution speed which is made proportional to the revolution speed of the power source based on the displacement of the steering instructing device detected by the displacement detector and controlling the revolution speed of the steering motor with the target steering motor revolution speed.
