STEP DETECTION DEVICE

Abstract: an object of the present invention is to obtain a step detection device that can accurately detect a step without being affected by weather, environmental conditions, and the like. a step detection device () according to the present invention is a step detection device that detects a step () in a case where a tire () of a vehicle () runs over the step, including: a plurality of strain detection elements () disposed on a tire inner circumferential surface of the tire at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the tire; and a signal processor () that processes detection signals of the plurality of strain detection elements. the signal processor detects the step based on detection signals of two or more adjacent strain detection elements among the plurality of strain detection elements.
