Network Nodes for a parking logic

Good afternoon,

I would like to know if there is a way to implement a traffic control following the next image in the logic of a car park considering:

A one way path were the cars may come through not passing each other (a queue)(red-yellow path) Due to the parking slots intermediate nodes, I am unable to keep the cars from overlapping even though the path is set as non-passing.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thank you very much for your attention and have a good day!

@Diego V12 I wonder if you have tried setting the minimum "Spacing" between the travellers along 2 network nodes?

@Diego V12, did you try to change the max number of travelers per NetworkNode? Maybe you can share the model or more pictures?

Dear @sebastian.hemmann,

Here are the settings of the flowitem concerned. A car. I have realised, if it may be useful, that the node "itemType" has not been created in the object tree.

Here are the maximum traveler and spacing settings of every point int he concerned path.

Here is the situation I would like to avoid. The yellow car has a delay time (simulates the parking manouvers) before travelling to the park slot. I would like the cars behind to keep the queue without overlapping if possible.

Thanks a lot, hope this time links are working.

@Diego V12 The spacing between network nodes will only measure vehicles travelling along the same direction between 2 network nodes. I wonder if the current distance between 2 network nodes is "smaller" than the 4m that you have indicated? If so, than the spacing settings will not work.

You may want to use "trafficcontrol" object to keep number of travellers between non-adjacent network nodes down to 1.
