contents This paper presents a framework for stabilizing the Dubins vehicle model to zero in finite time (deadbeat parking) by interpreting distance as a time-like variable. We develop control laws that bring the system to a desired position and orientation even when the forward velocity cannot be directly actuated. While the controllers employ inverse-distance gains, we show that the control input remains bounded for all time. In addition to basic deadbeat parking, we incorporate safety considerations by proposing algorithms that prevent the vehicle from crossing in front of the target, enforce deceleration as it approaches the target, and guarantee parking without curb violations. The resulting methods are well-suited for missile guidance and fixed-wing pursuit, but are broadly applicable to physical systems that are represented by the Dubins vehicle model.
