Abstract
A controller for a vehicle includes a processor configured to repeatedly perform operations, at each control iteration among a plurality of control iterations along a path of the vehicle from a start location to a target location. The operations include, based on a current state of the vehicle, generating a travel plan for a remainder of the path from a current position of the vehicle to the target location, by solving an optimization problem. The operations further include controlling a motoring and braking system of the vehicle to execute the generated travel plan until a next control iteration among the plurality of control iterations.
