Abstract
This article deals with the improvement of means for evaluation the trafficability of terrain in the frame of the Engineer Corps of the Czech Army. There are described the most used instruments the telescopic penetrometer PT-45 used in the Czech Army and the cone penetrometer from the Trafficability Test Set used by some NATO countries. There is written about problems the Engineer Corps has to face. It means that there are not enough instruments. The second weakness for the proper evaluation of the trafficability of terrain is the lack of materials for working with these instruments. So the steps making for removing these problems described here.
