Abstract

The invention relates to a method for assisting in the driving of a vehicle during a braking test on said vehicle on a track, said track being divided into a plurality of adjacent strips (Z1, . . . , Zn) mainly extending lengthwise in the track, the width (Iz) of each strip being greater than or equal to the width of the tires of the vehicle, each strip being worn on each braking of the vehicle on said strip. The assistance method comprises a step of selecting at least one strip out of the plurality of strips of the track, said strip being selected according to its level of wear. The assistance method also comprises a step of determining a theoretical trajectory of the vehicle, such that, by following said theoretical trajectory, the vehicle is able to brake on the selected strip.
