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. <EOS>
