How to avoid collision when Transporters are Travelling on same path

Hi Team,

In the model I have two paths for Transporters to travel and they can return back to original position using the same network node. How can I make my Transporter travel to Parking1 or Parking2 when one of the Transporter is returning back on the same path to avoid collision.

You could try using a process flow to detect the traffic controller requests and entry events to manage a list of TEs that are queued along with their network node labels. Then on the return journey check if a TE is queued at the blocking position and issue and new tasksequence for it to park and wait.

I think this will get more convoluted as you consider that you might have two AGVs that need to park at the same position (as you will see when you try it).
