Abstract
This paper presents the tractive performance of a one-wheeled vehicle equipped with a rotative leg appendage, Traction tests of the vehicle are performed and the maximum coefficient of traction is determined, T ests to measure the pressure distribution created by the legs on a soi l bin are conducted to illustrate traction enhancement.
