Abstract
A flood sensing device includes: an acquiring section that acquires plural types of traveling state data relating to traveling of a vehicle; and a sensing section that senses flooding of a road on which the vehicle travels by using (a) a physical quantity that is estimated on the basis of (i) a vehicle behavior model, which is configured by driving force of the vehicle and traveling resistance that includes air resistance applied to the vehicle, slope resistance applied to the vehicle and rolling resistance applied to the vehicle, and which determines the physical quantity that varies due to the vehicle traveling, and (ii) the plural types of traveling state data of the present time that are acquired by the acquiring section, and (b) the physical quantity that is obtained from the traveling state data of the present time that is acquired by the acquiring section.
