  • Patent number: 11520081
    Abstract: A flood detection device includes a detection result acquisition section, a weather information acquisition section and an identification section. The detection result acquisition section acquires a detection result that, on the basis of a plurality of kinds of running state data relating to running of a vehicle, detects flooding of a road on which the vehicle is running. The weather information acquisition section acquires weather information including at least one of rainfall information representing a measured rainfall amount in a region in which the vehicle is running or rainfall estimation information representing an estimated rainfall amount. The identification section uses the respective acquisition results of the detection result acquisition section and the weather information acquisition section to identify flooding of the road.

  • Patent number: 11453399
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210396541
    Abstract: A flood display device includes: a processor with hardware, the processor being provided to: acquire flood point information in which a detection result of a flood point of a road and a classification of a flood situation at the flood point determined based on traveling state data of a vehicle traveling at the detected flood point are associated with each other based on the traveling state data related to the traveling of the vehicle, generate flood detection information in which a display mode of the detection result is changed based on the classification of the flood situation as flood detection information obtained by superimposing the detection result on a position on a map corresponding to the flood point based on the flood point information, and output the flood detection information to a display.
