Make the transporter delay randomly

Hi,

I have received three questions during the simple model of AGV path. Here are the description of the project shows: The upper and lower parts respectively show the delay and no delay of the AGV during operation. When the upper AGV passes the stop1 control point, it needs to decide whether it will stay (no stay or 5 minutes delay) in a normal distribution method(or any other suggested method). And there will be no latency for the below one. Finally, compare the shipping status or number of shipments of the two models.

Here are the problems I met:

1. For the stop1 control point of the upper model. I don't know how to set the way to determine whether it needs to be delayed when the AGV passes. It will be better if it can be randomly. At present, I can only set it to delay every time it passes.

2. The AGV below cannot operate smoothly when moving goods. It should be the wrong way of copying when I use process flow.

3. To show the situation and quantity of cargo carried by AGVs on both sides.

Here is my current file: comparison.21.fsm

Much thankful if you are available to help solve these problems

you get a randomly delay by a combination of a logical comparison multiplied by a number or statistical distributed delay time:

(exponential(0,10)<10)*5

first bracket is a logical comparison

5 is constant delay time
