In order to clarify the soil deformation at the ground contact surface, traveling tests using a rubber-coated rigid wheel were carried out with −5%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% slip using a sophisticated soil bin test apparatus. The displacement of soil particles at the ground contact surface was observed through the movement of acrylic wires (1 mm in diameter) laid down on the soil surface. PTV (Particle Tracking Velocimetry), an effective image processing technique, was employed to detect the movement of the acrylic wires using image processing of a series of pictures. The detected movement is assumed to coincide with that of soil particles at the same position. Accordingly, the movement of soil particles could be successfully measured and analyzed. In addition, the soil deformation under the wheel was also measured using PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry). Both measures were then analyzed and the characteristics of soil deformation clarified. The mathematical model for the soil displacement at the ground contact surface showed good agreement with the measured values, except for at high slip.
