Abstract
A tree search may comprise a cost function that may be used to determine, from multiple controller profiles, a controller profile to implement a transition between vehicle actions. A controller profile may limit the controls output by a controller sufficient to track from a first vehicle action to a second vehicle action. The controller controls may result in a trajectory achieved by the vehicle and the controller profile may limit the controls of the controller such that the trajectory is limited by a maximum jerk and/or maximum acceleration.
