How to make the AGVs wait until control area is available?

The AGVs move in both directions and share some control areas.

Would you mind to update to an actual supported newer version of FlexSim? Thanks! you should think about the second possible network structure for such a model. A network node system. An AGV Network behaves similar to a railway network. Have you ever seen a train traveling on an one way path without any bypass sections? All following trains must reverse to let this happen in such a situation. It is your task to implement this kind of behavior by a logic. In current actual latest versions of FlexSim you can realize this by an Agent System. If an AGV Taskexecuter collides with a different one, your logic can let travel both in same direction.

Is there a way to keep at least one empty node between the AGVs?

@Julio Cs2
It is possible to make your model available?
However, Joerg is corret. This behavior must be implemented in your logic. The way your model was developed deadlock will always occur. It is necessary to "duplicate" the path.

You can set de max allocations in a control point, but that won't necessarily solve your problem.

I tried to do that, but the deadlock still happens.

As for the duplicate, that is not a option because the real system doesn't work like that.

On the real system the cars move on both ways and share some control points. When a car receives a task the idle one moves to give it space.
