Hi @Arun,

I added a traffic controller to your model, as well as some secondary network nodes that stop an operator before they reach the main line if the line is currently being used. It seems to be working as you described it should work.

In the upcoming Version 24 it will be possible to use a control area with A* navigation which will simplify creating models similar to this one.
