A method for controlling an industrial vehicle during a road surface treatment operation of a road route carried out by the industrial vehicle using first treatment parameters, comprising the steps of: - detecting, by means of an environmental model module, at least one between: i) a physical feature in said road route, ii) an actual variation of the travel direction of the industrial vehicle in said road route, iii) a planned variation of the travel direction of the industrial vehicle in said road route, wherein said physical feature determines a local narrowing or widening of said road route, and said actual variation and planned variation determine a corresponding variation of a first distance of the industrial vehicle from a first edge of the road route and of a second distance of the industrial vehicle from a second edge of the road route; wherein a remote sensor is mounted on the industrial vehicle, the remote sensor being configured to perform a scan of the road route in the travel direction of the industrial vehicle, said environmental model module being configured to cooperate with said remote sensor in order to identify said physical feature, first distance, second distance, wherein the environmental model module is a computer program, configured to run on a processing unit, to determine, on the basis of data provided by the remote sensor: the width (L(eH)) of said road route at said physical feature; the first distance; the second distance; - calculating, as a function of said first and second distances (d1, d2), and/or as a function of said local narrowing or widening, second treatment parameters of road surface; and - in case of actual variation of said travel direction, controlling the immediate implementation of the second treatment parameters by the industrial vehicle; otherwise carrying out the steps of: - calculating an estimated time for reaching said variation of the travel direction or physical feature, - calculating a time interval value (t ATT_MAX) required for a complete implementation of the second treatment parameters, and starting the implementation, by the industrial vehicle, of the second treatment parameters at a time (d SP) that is equal to the estimated time excluding the time interval (t ATT_MAX) of complete implementation. - detecting, by means of an environmental model module, at least one between: i) a physical feature in said road route, ii) an actual variation of the travel direction of the industrial vehicle in said road route, iii) a planned variation of the travel direction of the industrial vehicle in said road route, wherein said physical feature determines a local narrowing or widening of said road route, and said actual variation and planned variation determine a corresponding variation of a first distance of the industrial vehicle from a first edge of the road route and of a second distance of the industrial vehicle from a second edge of the road route; wherein a remote sensor is mounted on the industrial vehicle, the remote sensor being configured to perform a scan of the road route in the travel direction of the industrial vehicle, said environmental model module being configured to cooperate with said remote sensor in order to identify said physical feature, first distance, second distance, wherein the environmental model module is a computer program, configured to run on a processing unit, to determine, on the basis of data provided by the remote sensor: the width (L(eH)) of said road route at said physical feature; the first distance; the second distance; wherein said physical feature determines a local narrowing or widening of said road route, and said actual variation and planned variation determine a corresponding variation of a first distance of the industrial vehicle from a first edge of the road route and of a second distance of the industrial vehicle from a second edge of the road route; wherein a remote sensor is mounted on the industrial vehicle, the remote sensor being configured to perform a scan of the road route in the travel direction of the industrial vehicle, said environmental model module being configured to cooperate with said remote sensor in order to identify said physical feature, first distance, second distance, wherein the environmental model module is a computer program, configured to run on a processing unit, to determine, on the basis of data provided by the remote sensor: the width (L(eH)) of said road route at said physical feature; the first distance; the second distance; - calculating, as a function of said first and second distances (d1, d2), and/or as a function of said local narrowing or widening, second treatment parameters of road surface; and - in case of actual variation of said travel direction, controlling the immediate implementation of the second treatment parameters by the industrial vehicle; otherwise carrying out the steps of: - calculating an estimated time for reaching said variation of the travel direction or physical feature, - calculating a time interval value (t ATT_MAX) required for a complete implementation of the second treatment parameters, and
