1. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a road surface inspection process comprising:

  • detecting an abnormal region on a road surface from the road surface on an image stored in an image storage that stores an image in which a road surface of a road is captured by an imaging device mounted on a vehicle and a captured time of the image in correlation;

    first determining whether the abnormal region overlaps a wheel trace stored in a trace storage that stores a trace on the image captured by the imaging device, along which wheels of the vehicle are expected to pass on the road surface, or a trace along which the wheels of the vehicle passes on the road surface; and

    when the abnormal region is determined to overlap the trace of the wheels, second determining whether an acceleration at a measurement time corresponding to the captured time of the image among accelerations stored in an acceleration storage that stores an acceleration measured during driving on the road surface by an acceleration sensor mounted on the vehicle and the measurement time of the acceleration in correlation is outside a predetermined range.
