Methods and systems for controlling a train movement to a stop at a stopping position between a first position and a second position. Determining constraints of a velocity of the train with respect to a train position forming a feasible region (FR) for a state of the train during the movement, such that a lower curve bounding the FR has a zero velocity only at the first position, and an upper curve bounding the FR has a zero velocity only at the second position. Determining a control invariant subset (CIS) of the FR, wherein for each state within the CIS there is at least one control action having a value selected from a finite set of values that maintains the state of the train within the CIS. Controlling train movement subject to constraints by selecting a control action maintaining the state of the train within the CIS of the FR.
