velocity-optimization 1.3.1

Optimizes (Maximizes) the velocity profile for a vehicle respecting physical constraints and runtime-variable input parameters.

Velocity optimization

Optimizes (Maximizes) the velocity profile for a vehicle in real-time respecting physical constraints (e.g., power, force, combined acceleration, ...). Takes into account a variable friction potential between road and tires. Max. power input can be space-variable (for, e.g., energy strategy purposes).
