Allocation of control area based on specific condition?

Hi there,

as I hope that when both AGV arrive an intersection at the same time, AGV which nearer to its final destination could pass the intersection (allocate the control area) first.
I wonder when AGVs pre-arrived an intersection, could I add any trigger on the control points (to let the system check which AGVs are nearer to its final destination) to decide which AGV could allocate the control area first?

Much appreaciate if you have any suggestions or ideas.

Use a second, bigger control area to detect the AGVs that are about to arrive and track them. When they arrive at the inner area consult the list to deny/allow access as needed.

Thanks for reply, could you please give me more hints?

How could I track the arrival of AGVs, using triggers or lists in advanced process flow?

Here's the example - change the destination control point locations to see the effect on priority.
