Question: Optimization problem

Hello,

I want to solve a optimization problem with maple/maplesim.

A car has to move a defined distance on a plane, straight road in a defined time. Given is the mass of the car, the maximum force to accelerate the car, the distance and the time. The rolling resistance and the drag force should be considered. At start-point speed v = 0m/s and also at the end-point speed should be v= 0m/s.

So there are the following model parameters:

mass                            m = 2000kg
distance                        d  = 1000m
time                              t_max = 120s
                                    v_0 = 0m/s
                                    v_d = 0m/s
accelerating force           -1m/s2 <= F_acc/m <= 1m/s2
resistance to rolling        F_rol = C + A*v2                      C and A are later defined
resulting force at mass   F_res = F_acc - F_rol

The energy consumption  integral F_acc(s) ds (from 0 to d) should be minimized and I want to print the graph of F_acc(s) 

How can or can Maple help me solving this optimization problem?
