  • Publication number: 20220325487
    Abstract: A method for controlling an industrial vehicle comprising the steps of: detecting a physical feature that determines a local narrowing or a widening of said road route; calculating treatment parameters of the road surface adapted to be used in the presence of said physical feature; calculating an estimated time for reaching said physical feature; calculating a time interval value required for a complete implementation of the second treatment parameters; and starting the implementation of the second treatment parameters at a time that is equal to the estimated time excluding the time interval of complete implementation.
