  • Abstract
    A semi-analytical method is proposed to generate minimum-time optimal velocity profiles for a vehicle with given acceleration limits driving along a specified path. The method is formally proven to provide optimal results using optimal control theory. In addition, several undesirable cases, where loss of controllability occurs, and which have been neglected in the literature, are dealt with in this work.
