How to control traffic between AGV and TE?

Hi Simulators,

I am working on a traffic simulation that will involve AGV loop and TaskExecuters, does trafficControl work with AGVs using process flow? If not, what can I do to simulate the traffic between AGVs and TE?

Thank you! AGV and TE traffic sim.fsm

AGV networks aren’t acting with traffic control object. If you have spontaneous situations, when AGVs and other taskexecuter class member might run into another you do this with the tool agent system.

Hi @Joerg Vogel , thanks for the advice but I don't have any much knowledge in agent based system yet, for quicker turnaround, can I make taskExecuters work like other AGVs and use controlArea?

@Jerome H, you can add many types of taskexecuter object class to an AGV network. Try it, because operator should be possible.

In version 24 you can use a control area for controlling entrance by any transport/traveller regardless of navigator or transport method (eg. conveyors).
