Why do you have patients pushing the wheelchairs around and not Staff?

Actually I am working on a model on the trolleys used in airport. Passenger are supposed to push the trolley to join the waiting line before check-in.

Depending on your end objective, this is one option to consider. Basically, I put the wheelchair inside the patient's shape as a component using the animation tool. The Custom Code activity in the flow changes the patient's default "walkAnimation" variable from "Walk" to "PushWheelchair". Patients have two variables a modeler can set to change the default animation for Walk and WalkLoaded (ie. the animation set by the software when the contents of the traveler is > 0).

If the approach I used in the attached model won't work because of your end objective, there are other options @Matthew Gillespie might know.

Thanks for the model. How can we maintain the space between the patient between the patient + the wheelchair?

The purpose of the model is to find out the number of wheel chair needed. The wheel chair will be send back to a wheel chair pool by a worker after the patient left the wheel chair around after leaving the model.

You can adjust the gap size on the waiting line.
