Hi,
I have a huge model with 7 forklifts and their collision is controlled by network node and traffic control. I will be running the model for 6 months. Is there any method to verify whether the forklifts are colliding and accumulating each other? Any warning or indication that at a particular node, forklifts are colliding and accumulating. If yes, then how is it done?
To detect collisions in general you can use the 'Collisions' tab of the taskexecuters. (This was replaced by the Proximity Agent System in version 20.2)
To detect collisions/accumulations at network nodes specifically, you could build a small process flow that reacts to travelers arriving to network nodes. The token then enters a zone with a maximum content of 1. It stays in that zone for some time after the task executer continues its travel. If a second token arrives during that time, it is redirected to an activity that writes a message to the output console. The redirection uses the 'Max Wait Timer' functionality of the 'Enter Zone' activity.
(The process flow in the attached model is expanded compared to the picture to account for stopping at a network node)
I'm not sure what you mean by "travel destination" in the process flow.
Do you mean the assigned 'toEdge' value? For that value it is only important if it is 0 or not. 0 would mean that the network node is the end point of the travel, so the token takes a different path in the process flow.
Or do you refer to the attached objects? Those should include all network nodes at which you want to detect collisions. In the model I left some of them out, because the outer nodes were only added to test something.
No, I meant the Process flow in the travel.
Each node should be mentioned in the travel task sequence of the process flow? Because in my model, I have lots of connected network nodes.
