AGV travel direction

How to check if AGV is oriented in forward direction while travelling on a AGV network?

I want to ensure that TE is always oriented forward while travelling, just for the animation purpose.

This isn't catered for in the design of the AGV system where 'forward' somehow got defined as the direction of the path (start to end) and not the direction of the traveller which instead uses the term 'facing direction'. To do what you want you probably need to place two opposing paths on top of one another where the orientation is fixed. See the explanation and example here.
