The present disclosure provides a system and a method for coordinating and controlling the movement of trailers by a fleet of vehicles within a logistics environment. The method comprises receiving a set of trailer transportation jobs, each job comprising a temporal requirement defining conditions to be satisfied by a trailer or a vehicle at a location during a time interval, and encoding the temporal requirement of each job as a set of constraints on one or more of vehicle motion dynamics, trailer motion dynamics, and energy consumption behavior using metric temporal logic (MTL) specification. The method further solving a constrained optimization problem optimizing a cost function subject to the set of constraints and a set of vehicle operation constraints to generate a plan comprising one or more trailer assignments, vehicle trajectories, and charging actions, and executing at least a portion of the plan within the logistics environment.
