  • Abstract
    The paper describes a method to compute the minimal-time trajectory for an autonomous vehicle driving at the force contact limit. It is proven that the optimal trajectory consists piecewise of logarithmic spirals and not of cothoids as is often thought. Simulation results are given for the interesting special case of a needle turn. These results are compared to normal polynomial interpolation.
