Abstract: A magnetic field measurement device measures a magnetic flux density vector or a magnetic field vector generated from each of segments obtained by segmenting a measurement target surface of a vehicle. A magnetic field evaluation device includes a propagation intensity calculation unit and a display control unit. The propagation intensity calculation unit calculates propagation intensity that is the intensity of a magnetic field or the magnitude of magnetic flux density that propagates from each of the segments to an evaluation point that is separated from the measurement target surface with use of the magnetic flux density vector or the magnetic field vector in each of the segments and a separation distance between the segments and the evaluation point. A display control unit displays on a display unit a propagation intensity distribution image indicating the position of the evaluation point and distribution of the propagation intensity in each of the segments.
