Device and method for optimizing the grip of a tire fitted to a mobile vehicle traveling on a road surface, and motor vehicles and aircraft incorporating such a device

A motor vehicle comprising:

• a body including a front bumper;
• at least one tire;
• and
• a device for improving grip of the at least one tire to a road surface, the device including:
• means for detecting and characterizing the presence of water on the road surface in front of the motor vehicle,
• means for processing information received from the detection and characterization means and for generating control instructions, and
• means for emitting a power laser beam directed toward a portion of the road surface in front of at least one tire fitted to the motor vehicle, the means for emitting the power laser beam being arranged in the front bumper of the motor vehicle.

An aircraft comprising:

• a body;
• landing gear including at least one tire;
• and
• a device for improving grip of the at least one tire to an airstrip, the device including:
• means for detecting and characterizing the presence of water on an airstrip in front of the aircraft when traveling on the airstrip,
• means for processing information received from the detection and characterization means and for generating control instructions, and
• means for emitting a power laser beam directed toward a portion of airstrip in front of at least one tire of the landing gear of the aircraft, the means for emitting the power laser beam being arranged on the landing gear.
