ROAD SURFACE EVALUATION APPARATUS

A road surface evaluation apparatus includes a microprocessor and a memory connected to the microprocessor. The memory stores map information including roughness information indicating a roughness of a surface of a road, and the microprocessor is configured to perform: acquiring as driving information of a plurality of vehicles driving on the road, position information of the plurality of vehicles, acceleration information indicating accelerations of the plurality of vehicles, driving image information including a captured image of the surface of the road, and driving sound information indicating driving sound of the plurality of vehicles; evaluating the roughness of the surface of the road based on the driving information of the plurality of vehicles; and updating the roughness information corresponding to the road stored in the memory based on an evaluation result in the evaluating.
