Tóm tắt

A methodology is proposed to generate minimum-time optimal velocity profiles for a vehicle with prescribed acceleration limits along a specified path. The necessary optimality conditions are explicitly derived, allowing the construction of the optimal solution semianalytically. A receding horizon implementation is also proposed for the on-line implementation of the velocity optimizer. Robustness of the receding horizon algorithm is guaranteed by the use of an adaptive scheme that determines the planning and execution horizons. Application to a real-life scenario with a comparison between the infinite and finite receding horizon schemes provides a validation of the proposed methodology.
