A method for determining the mechanical property of a ground on which a tire mounted on a vehicle is running, the tire being fitted with a sensor configured to acquire a measurement signal representative of the change in the curvature of the tire as it runs over a ground, comprises the following steps: acquiring a measurement signal representative of the change in the curvature of the tire while it is running; determining measurement data comprising (a) a first parameter (KSin) representative of a rate at which the tire flattens on contact with the ground, and (b) a second parameter (KSout) representative of a rate at which the tire regains its shape on becoming separated from the ground; and determining the mechanical property of the ground as a function of the first parameter (KSin) and/or the second parameter (KSout).

A method for determining a mechanical property of a ground on which a tire mounted on a vehicle is running, the tire being fitted with a sensor configured to acquire a measurement signal representative of a change in a curvature of the tire as it runs over the ground, the method comprising the following steps:
A tire comprising a sensor sensitive to a change in a curvature of the tire and configured to generate a measurement signal representative of the change in the curvature of the tire as it runs over a ground, comprising an active part and an electronic circuit board, the active part being configured to generate the measurement signal, the electronic circuit board being configured to determine measurement data comprising:
A data processing unit configured to receive measurement data derived from a measurement signal representative of a change in a curvature of a tire as it runs over a ground, the measurement data comprising:
