Abstract
A device configured to apprehend a road surface shape by using data measured by a measuring device appropriately apprehends a road surface shape. A road surface shape measuring device is provided with a road surface information acquiring unit and a road surface shape determining unit. The road surface information acquiring unit acquires road surface information about each of multiple points on a road surface, the road surface information including: a road surface position which is the position, of the road surface, on a reference plane divided into a plurality of sectioned regions; and a road surface height which is the height of the road surface at the road surface position. The road surface shape determining unit estimates respective surface shapes of the sectioned regions by using the road surface information included in the corresponding sectioned regions, and thereby determines a partial shape or the entire shape of the road surface.
