AGV Behavior at Round About Type Path

In attached model, TE1 and TE2 pickup from Queue1 and drop at Queue2. I am working on understanding the behavior if a shortcut is added similar to a round about

At the beginning the AGVs travel to the rightmost curved path and are expected to take either of one shortcuts, ShortcutL or ShortcutR if an item appears for pickup in Queue1. However they seem to travel in an endless loop between ShortcutT and ShortcutL. I tried permutations of Next Look For Work connections around both shortcuts, but the behavior remains.

How do I prevent this behavior?

When you redirect using waypoints and that waypoint is the next look for work, then the AGV never considers itself to have arrived at that next look for work and is constantly travelling there - in this case ControlPoint7.

Okay. I changed the redirect as final destination and now the AGVs are no longer running in loop.


So, it is my understanding that when redirect via search or redirect via direct reference is used to redirect an AGV to a CP which has a Next Look For Work connection, the CP then should be declared as a final destination. Is my understanding correct?

That's sounds right.
