Abstract
A system includes a computer including a processor and a memory. The computer is programmed to determine a target location for a vehicle; based on a vehicle speed and a distance to the target location, determine a tunable acceleration parameter; determine a constraint, based on the tunable acceleration parameter, for a control barrier function to that outputs an acceleration to stop the vehicle at the target location; and upon solving the control barrier function to satisfy the constraint, actuate the vehicle to decelerate based on the acceleration output from the control barrier function.
