A system for preventing the phenomenon of aquaplaning in a motor-vehicle, and related method

An anti-aquaplaning system for motor-vehicles comprising:

• a data transmission and receiving unit connectable to a cellular telephone network infrastructure, provided to transmit and receive a plurality of information,
• at least one automated driving assistance device, provided to detect the dynamic conditions of the motor-vehicle and/or an environment in which the motor-vehicle is located, in order to assist a driver for different driving functions and increase a safety level,
• an electronic control unit configured to assist the driver to avoid an aquaplaning phenomenon, the electronic control unit being programmed for:
• receiving in real time a plurality of signals detected by means of the at least one automated driving assistance devices and the data transmission and receiving unit,
• integrating the plurality of signals to generate an output signal indicative of a risk of aquaplaning,
• if said output signal exceeds a predetermined value corresponding to a minimum risk condition, generating a warning for the driver so as to inform preventively of a risk of bumping into a water layer which could lead to a lifting and/or slipping condition of wheels of the motor-vehicle on a wet road surface,
• in such a way that said electronic control unit is configured to alert the driver prior to a contact of the wheels with the water layer extended on the road surface in such quantity as to no longer ensure an adequate grip between the wheels of the motor-vehicle and the road surface.
