Solve Max Velocity given Distance, Time, Initial velocity, Acceleration, Deceleration

For a motor application I wan't to be able to find the maximum velocity I should ask my motor to use knowing:




  • Distance to go D

  • Time to travel T

  • Acceleration a

  • Deceleration d

  • Initial velocity v0


So that my motor will go from initial position p0 with initial velocity p0 to final position with velocity = 0.



I found several post doing it the other way. Solving for time given maximum velocity. And I have a hard time reversing the equation.



Thank you for your help.

If the vehicle accelerates from velocity $v_0$ to velocity $v_{max}$ over a time $T_1$, then we have



$T_1 = frac{v_{max} -v_0}{a}$



If it then decelerates from velocity $v_{max}$ to rest over a time $T_2$, then we have



$T_2 = frac{v_{max}}{d}$



We know that the total time $T$ must equal $T_1+T_2$, so



$T = frac{v_{max} -v_0}{a} + frac{v_{max}}{d}$



Re-arranging this to solve for $v_{max}$ gives:



$v_{max} = frac{d}{a+d}(aT+v_0)$
