Abstract
Systems and techniques for determining acceleration controls to use in a trajectory for use in controlling a vehicle are described. An acceleration determination system may receive a trajectory from a trajectory determination system and determine, based on various vehicle, acceleration, and spatial trajectory parameters, the appropriate controls to configure in a longitudinal profile of the trajectory and the suitable spatial implementation points for implementing the controls within acceleration rate change constraints. An operational trajectory determination system may determine a trajectory for use in operating the vehicle using one or more candidate trajectories and/or associated data, including one or more acceleration controls determined by the acceleration determination system.
