Closed form solutions are provided for reaching a position in minimum time with and without a velocity bound, and for stopping at the goal position. A numeric solver is used to reach a goal position and velocity with no more than two constant control inputs. If a cruising phase at the terminal velocity is needed, this requires solving a non-linear equation with a single parameter.
