A method and system for positioning a vehicle in relation to each moving target of an ordered set of moving targets. Each of the moving targets moves from an initial position at a constant velocity. Embodiments can compute an estimated time for the vehicle to be positioned within a predetermined proximity of one of the moving targets; compute an estimated location of the moving target at the estimated time, based on a current position of the moving target and the constant velocity of the moving target, and compute a required velocity for the vehicle to move from its current position to reach the estimated location by the estimated time. If the required velocity is less than or equal to a maximum velocity of the vehicle, outputting the estimated time and the estimated location for use in positioning the vehicle.
