A distance to stop a vehicle is received. A trajectory including a plurality of acceleration segments, being respective portions of the trajectory prescribing at least one of an acceleration and a jerk elapsing for a specified period of time, is plotted according to the distance. At least one of a vehicle brake and a vehicle propulsion are adjusted based on the trajectory to stop at the distance. The acceleration segments include two or more of a ramp-in, a deceleration, a ramp-out, and a final deceleration.
