PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the need to mount on a vehicle a dedicated inclination angle sensor especially for detecting the up-hill grade of a road surface.SOLUTION: An engine mount device, which is interposed between an internal combustion engine M1 to be mounted on a vehicle and a vehicle body M4, comprises: a magnet fixed on one of the internal combustion engine side or the vehicle body side; and a magnetic field detecting element fixed on the other, and is enabled to know the relative displacement of the internal combustion engine M1 relative to the vehicle body M4 by detecting the relative displacement of the magnet relative to the magnetic field detecting element, so that the up-hill grade of a road surface can be detected by using said engine mount device. 【課題】路面の上り勾配を検出するためだけの専用の傾斜角センサを車両に実装せずに済むようにする。【解決手段】車両に搭載される内燃機関Ｍ１と車体Ｍ４との間に介在するエンジンマウント装置を、内燃機関側と車体側とのうち一方に対して固定した磁石と、他方に対して固定した磁界検出素子とを備え、磁界検出素子に対する磁石の相対的な変位を検出することを通じて、車体Ｍ４に対する内燃機関Ｍ１の相対的な変位を知得することができるものとし、当該エンジンマウント装置を用いて路面の上り勾配を検出することとした。【選択図】図５
