1. A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- generating, using at least one sensor, a time-series signal indicative of a variation of the environment in vicinity of the vehicle with respect to a motion of the vehicle;
selecting from a memory a neural network trained to transform time-series signals to reference trajectories of the vehicle;
submitting the time-series signal to the neural network to produce a reference trajectory as a function of time that satisfies time and spatial constraints on a position of the vehicle;
determining a motion trajectory tracking the reference trajectory while satisfying constraints on the motion of the vehicle; and
controlling the motion of the vehicle to follow the motion trajectory, wherein at least some steps of the method are performed by a processor operatively connected to the memory and the sensor.

Abstract
A method and a system generate a time-series signal indicative of a variation of the environment in vicinity of the vehicle with respect to a motion of the vehicle and submit the time-series signal to the neural network to produce a reference trajectory as a function of time that satisfies time and spatial constraints on a position of the vehicle. The neural network is trained in to transform time-series signals to reference trajectories of the vehicle. The motion trajectory tracking the reference trajectory while satisfying constraints on the motion of the vehicle is determined and the motion of the vehicle is controlled to follow the motion trajectory.
