Abstract
A wall shape measurement device includes a wall distance acquisition part, a wall shape calculation part, a sudden change determination part, and an extrapolation part. The wall distance acquisition part repeatedly determines whether a wall-like object installed along the road is detected, and acquires, in response to the wall-like object being detected, a wall distance value indicating the distance to the wall-like object. The wall shape calculation part calculates a plurality of wall shape values using the traveling track of the vehicle and a plurality of past wall distance values. The sudden change determination part determines whether the wall distance value is suddenly changed, based on a preset sudden change determination condition. In response to the wall distance value being suddenly changed, the extrapolation part extrapolates wall shape values after it is determined that the wall distance value is suddenly changed.
