  • Patent number: 12103551
    Abstract: A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of: determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or to the road vehicle; determining, in use, a relative position of the road vehicle with respect to the optimal trajectory by identifying a longitudinal relative position on the optimal trajectory; suggesting to the driver, by means of one or more colours emitted or assumed by a light interface device, depending on the longitudinal relative position, one or more actions to be performed to vary a longitudinal dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission optimising the performance on the track.
