Itīs the type of instrument used to measure the runway condition. I can't give you the specifics though but it's explained, I think, in the french AIP.

The IMAG, automatic skid resistance friction trailer, was designed and patented by french civil aviation authority. It measures in operational conditions, mainly in winter, the characteristics of skid resistance of runways and allows pilots to know the operating conditions of these areas.
This device is used by the STAC as a national reference vehicle in the Certification process for self-wetting continuous friction measuring equipment.
