  • Method and system for controlling a vehicle in presence of hydroplaning
    Patent number: 12552363
    Abstract: Control method and system (99) of a vehicle (1) moving on a road surface, wherein the system comprises a detection module (2) for detecting in real time a respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) for each tyre (3) of the vehicle (1), an actuation device (9) connected to each wheel (7) of the vehicle (1) and a command and control unit (8) programmed and configured for performing the control method comprising: —comparing each respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) with a first threshold; —upon the occurrence of a starting condition such that the respective hydroplaning intensity (HI) of at least one tyre (3) reaches the first threshold, then: —calculating in real time a reference value (YRr) of a parameter representative of a lateral motion of the vehicle (1) as a function of a longitudinal speed (Vxc) and of a steering angle (STA) of the vehicle; —calculating in real time a corrective moment (Mz) as a function of the reference value (YRr) and of a current value (YRc) of the parameter detected in real time; —appl
