Abstract

A water level measuring system includes a distance sensor, a disturbance detecting unit, and a computation unit. The distance sensor is provided above a road and configured to output a sensor signal that includes a signal component representing a distance to a road surface of the road or a distance to an object present on the road surface. The disturbance detecting unit is configured to detect, from the sensor signal, a disturbance part acquired in a period in which a moving body is passing below the distance sensor. The computation unit is configured to compute a water level of water flooding the road based on the sensor signal from which the disturbance part has been eliminated.
