Traffic control at end of aisle

HI We are trying to restrict the forklift at the end of the aisle and we are seeing challenges to achieve it. The concern is , i am in a situation where i need to connect 1 traffic control with 3 nodes or more, where the traffic logic is not adhered. Could you please help ?

2. Also is there a way to connect many traffic controls to single traffic control ? This would help to limit the number of forklifts in a aisle.

Attached sample model for reference. Traffic testing_demo.fsm

FlexSim 24.2.2

Could you explain the behaviour you want between these 9 network nodes? The aisle seems irrelevant to me - what's it for in this example?

@Jason Lightfoot Just to give little bit context. We need to introduce traffic control at the end of the aisle , assume if i have forklift in both the aisle at the same time, one has to wait until the other forklift is crossed. To achieve this i was forced to connect one traffic control with 3 to 4 network nodes. When i connect with more than 3 networknodes , i could see the traffic rules are not adhered. What is the best way to achieve this ? We have multiple aisle similar to this configuration, so quick fix would really help. When i connect traffic control with network nodes, the connections are in different color based on number of network nodes being connected ( 1- Red,2 -orange, 3- yellow, 4- green )

(2) Is there a way to collect statistics from traffic control and add in statistics collector ?
