Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle includes controlling, at a first time period, the vehicle based on a first velocity profile constrained by an acceleration profile that includes a minimum acceleration, a maximum acceleration, and a maximum velocity. The method also includes generating an adjusted acceleration profile by adjusting one or more of the minimum acceleration, the maximum acceleration, or the maximum velocity associated with the acceleration profile based on determining an object is approaching the vehicle. The method further includes controlling, at a second time period, the vehicle based a second velocity profile constrained by the adjusted acceleration profile.
