ROAD INSPECTION METHOD AND ROAD INSPECTION VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a road inspection method and a road inspection vehicle which are capable of improving efficiency of inspection with respect to a plurality of structures and facilities relating to a road.SOLUTION: The inspection vehicle 1 includes, in a vehicle body 2, a thermal infrared camera 3, a visible light camera 4, a vibration sensor 5, a travel sound detection part 6, a water-permeability detection part 7, an IC tag communication part 8, a paved surface measurement part 9, a GPS antenna 10, and a controller 11. While traveling on the road, the inspection vehicle 1 photographs a paved surface by the thermal infrared camera 3 and the visible light camera 4, detects vibrations of the vehicle according to a state of the paved surface by the vibration sensor 5, detects sound due to traveling of the vehicle by the travel sound detection part 6, detects water-permeability of paving by the water-permeability detection part 7, collects detection information of sensors preliminarily disposed around the road by the IC tag communication part 8, and collects a shape of the paved surface by the paved surface measurement part 9. Collected inspection information is given position information received by the GPS antenna 10 and is stored in a storage device 12.
