Inspection method of inspecting moving object

An inspection method of inspecting a moving object, comprising:

• a fifth step of giving an instruction to a moving object as an inspection target to cause a stopping unit of the moving object to work to stop a moving motion of the moving object in such a manner that braking force applied by the stopping unit becomes a predetermined target value;
• a sixth step of applying external force for causing the moving object to make the moving motion to the moving object as the inspection target while increasing the external force stepwise, and acquiring the external force using an inspection device for inspection on the moving object, the external force being acquired with timing of switching from a state where the moving motion is stopped by the stopping unit to a state where the moving motion is made;
• a subsequent inspection step of performing the fifth step and the sixth step on a plurality of the moving objects different from the moving object as the inspection target when a difference between the external force acquired with the timing and force corresponding to the target value is not within a predetermined third range;
• and
• a seventh step of outputting information indicating the presence of abnormality in the moving object as the inspection target when the difference between the external force acquired with the timing and the force corresponding to the target value is within a predetermined fourth range in the moving objects of a predetermined number equal to or greater than two among the plurality of the moving objects as a result of the subsequent inspection step.
