A method for assessing contamination of a route includes imposing a first sliding value lower than a first threshold between one or more first wheels of a vehicle and the route, the one or more first wheels being the head the vehicle, imposing a second sliding value greater than a second threshold between one or more second wheels of the vehicle and the route, the one or more second wheels following the one or more first wheels and the second threshold being greater than the first threshold, and determining the trend of an adhesion curve between the one or more first wheels and the one or more second wheels and the route, based on a first adhesion value between the one or more first wheels and the route, and a second adhesion value between the one or more second wheels and the route.
