    Abstract: A road surface evaluation apparatus includes a microprocessor is configured to perform: calculating a roughness value of road surface corresponding to a predetermined period based on driving information of the plurality of vehicles during the predetermined period; and outputting roughness information including the roughness value. The microprocessor is configured to further perform, when calculating the roughness value corresponding to a second predetermined period, estimating whether a magnitude of a change rate of the roughness value corresponding to the second predetermined period with respect to the roughness value corresponding to a first predetermined period exceeds a predetermined threshold to acquire, when the magnitude is estimated to exceed the predetermined threshold, more pieces of the driving information to be used for calculating the roughness value corresponding to the second predetermined period than when the magnitude is estimated to be equal to or less than the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A road management apparatus including a communication unit and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform acquiring detection information via the communication unit, the detection information being information from a detection device mounted on each vehicle, and estimating a traveling lane on which each vehicle travels based on the detection information. The memory stores driving information including at least one of vehicle speed information and operation information of a direction indicator in association with the traveling lane, the driving information being obtained from the detection information acquired in each of a first period and a second period earlier than the first period. The microprocessor is configured to further perform estimating an occurrence of an abnormality on a road in the first period, in accordance with a degree of divergence between the driving information in the first period and the second period stored in the memory.
