A method to control a road vehicle for the execution of a standing start; the control method comprising the steps of: engaging a gear in a transmission of the road vehicle while a corresponding clutch of the road vehicle is open; progressively closing the clutch causing the clutch to transmit a torque that causes the rotation of at least a pair of drive wheels of the road vehicle; determining a target slip (S T) of the drive wheels; cyclically determining a real slip (S R) of the drive wheels; and continuously modulating the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch based on a difference between the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels and the real slip of the (S R) of the drive wheels; wherein the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch is modulated, so as to pursue the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels, by means of a feedback control in which a control error (ε s) is the difference between the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels and the real slip (S R) of the drive wheels; and wherein the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch is modulated by a PID controller which receives, as an input, the control error (ε s); the control method is characterized in comprising the further steps of: storing a final value (T H) of an integral contribution of the PID controller at the end of the first standing start; and adding the final value (T H) of the integral contribution of the PID controller stored at the end of the first standing start to a control signal (T C) generated by the PID controller during a second standing start subsequent to the first standing start. engaging a gear in a transmission of the road vehicle while a corresponding clutch of the road vehicle is open; progressively closing the clutch causing the clutch to transmit a torque that causes the rotation of at least a pair of drive wheels of the road vehicle; determining a target slip (S T) of the drive wheels; cyclically determining a real slip (S R) of the drive wheels; and continuously modulating the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch based on a difference between the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels and the real slip of the (S R) of the drive wheels; wherein the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch is modulated, so as to pursue the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels, by means of a feedback control in which a control error (ε s) is the difference between the target slip (S T) of the drive wheels and the real slip (S R) of the drive wheels; and wherein the torque transmitted by the clutch during the closing of the clutch is modulated by a PID controller which receives, as an input, the control error (ε s); the control method is characterized in comprising the further steps of: storing a final value (T H) of an integral contribution of the PID controller at the end of the first standing start; and adding the final value (T H) of the integral contribution of the PID controller stored at the end of the first standing start to a control signal (T C) generated by the PID controller during a second standing start subsequent to the first standing start. storing a final value (T H) of an integral contribution of the PID controller at the end of the first standing start; and adding the final value (T H) of the integral contribution of the PID controller stored at the end of the first standing start to a control signal (T C) generated by the PID controller during a second standing start subsequent to the first standing start.
