Abstract

The road surface inspection process includes acquiring, calculating, and determining. The acquiring includes acquiring a deterioration candidate position at which a deterioration candidate of a road surface is detected by a process of detecting an abnormality on the road surface of a road. The calculating includes calculating a frequency at which an acceleration outside an allowable range is measured at the deterioration candidate position by referring to an acceleration at a measurement position corresponding to the deterioration candidate position among the accelerations stored in a driving data storage. The determining includes determining, when the calculated frequency is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, that the deterioration candidate position at which the frequency is calculated is a position at which the road surface is deteriorated.

Claims

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

acquiring a deterioration candidate position at which a deterioration candidate of a road surface is detected by a process of detecting an abnormality on the road surface of a road;

calculating a frequency at which an acceleration outside an allowable range is measured at the deterioration candidate position by referring to an acceleration at a measurement position corresponding to the deterioration candidate position among the accelerations stored in a driving data storage in which an acceleration measured in a direction parallel to the road surface on which a vehicle drives by an acceleration sensor mounted on the vehicle and a measurement position at which the acceleration is measured are stored in correlation; and

determining, when the calculated frequency is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, that the deterioration candidate position at which the frequency is calculated is a position at which the road surface is deteriorated.

2. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the calculating includes calculating the frequency by applying a weight to the vehicle in which an acceleration outside the allowable range is measured at the deterioration candidate position so that a larger weight is applied to a vehicle that is classified as a large-size vehicle.

3. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring includes executing a process of acquiring a position at which deterioration of the road surface is detected by any one of a first process of detecting an abnormality on the road surface from an image of the road surface on which the vehicle drives captured by an imaging device mounted on the vehicle and a second process of detecting an abnormality on the road surface on which the vehicle drives from an acceleration in a gravitational direction, measured during driving of the vehicle by an acceleration sensor mounted on the vehicle.

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

acquiring a deterioration candidate position at which a deterioration candidate of a road surface is detected by a process of detecting an abnormality on the road surface of a road;

calculating a frequency at which a braking operation is performed at the deterioration candidate position by referring to an operation position corresponding to the deterioration candidate position among the operation positions stored in a driving data storage that stores an operation position at which the braking operation is performed on a braking device of a vehicle; and
