Abstract
In order to provide smooth control a vehicle control method includes concatenating like-kind direction arrows in a configuration space. In addition, a stopping criterion is used to change a control signal in time to achieve stopping at a desired setpoint. To improve error recovery, control signals are changed in response to an error exceeding a predetermined limit.
