Path: FormationFlying/Guidance
% Determine the nearest along-track offset for a trajectory that is safe.
Given the current along-track offset and the y-extrema for all other members,
compute the closest offset such that the minimum and maximum required
separation distances are respected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
y0 = NearestOffset( y0, width, extrema, minSepDistance, maxSepDistance )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
y0 (1) Original along-track offset (on y-axis)
width (1) Width of trajectory on y-axis
extrema (1,2N) Extrema pairs (min, max) on y-axis for N other
trajectories
minSepDistance (1) Minimum separation distance between trajectories
maxSepDistance (1) Maximum separation distance between trajectories
-------
Outputs
-------
y0 (1) Nearest along-track offset that meets separation objectives
