Abstract:
A step detection device, including a distance measurement unit which detects the height of the road surface around a vehicle, approximates with a curve, the gradient of the road surface in a travelable region in the vehicle width direction, based on the height of the road surface, and detects a step on the road surface, based on the agreement degree of the height of a measurement point relative to the curve and the agreement degree of the height of a measurement point relative to a curve with which the gradient of the road surface in an extended region defined by extending the travelable region in the vehicle width direction is approximated.

Claim (Index 9):
The step detection device according to  claim 6 , wherein\n the step detection device repeats a cycle of widening the travelable region in the vehicle width direction by a predetermined range; approximating with a curve, the gradient of the road surface in the extended region which is widened by the predetermined range; and calculating the agreement degree of the height of the measurement point relative to the curve, and the step detection circuit detects the step based on the repeatedly calculated agreement degree.
