How to decelerate a task executer in process flow?

Hi. I am trying to model a Task executer in a network that has to slow down and stop at a node before it starts travelling again. I want to do this in process flow to link it with other processes. I would like to know if it is possible to set a deceleration to the task executers before it is going to reach a node. I have attached a model where a task executer is travelling to a node NN3 and it has a delay of 5 secs in that node. The max velocity of the task executer is 2m/s and the total distance to reach NN3 is 20m. Thus, it is reaching the node in 10 sec, which means that the velocity of the task executer when it enters the node is 2m/s. I want this to be 0m/s. Therefore the task executer should start decelerating 2m before it reaches the node. Please let me know how to make this happen in the process flow.

Also, can this be done by listening to the velocity of the task executer? Because I am planning to add different max velocities for different task executers in the model.

Hi @Kishan K, you might take a look at this question; there's not currently a way to dynamically control AGV speed within a network other than using the AGV's acceleration and deceleration settings. You could potentially account for the deceleration by adding a delay that begins upon arrival. The delay could simulate the AGV slowing down and arriving slightly later than as if it didn't decelerate.

All in all, it shouldn't change the results of your model too much by using default deceleration and acceleration settings.
