Collecting statistics on AGVs and AGV networks

How do I collect the following statistics when modeling AGV networks?

1. Number of trips completed by an AGV

2. Content of an AGV network path (in terms of the number of AGVs traveling on it) over time

FlexSim 16.2.1
agvdashboardsagv network
5 |100000

Up to 12 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 23.8 MiB each and 47.7 MiB total.

I don't know about number of trips. You'd have to define what a "trip" is. You could use a tracked variable, and write some logic that when an AGV gets a task it increments your tracked variable. Otherwise you can look at the Distance Traveled or Distance Traveled Per Day (etc) variables in the Dashboard charts.

As for the content of a certain path (or section of path) I would again use a tracked variable. Use a control point to mark the entry and exit of the path you're looking at. And simply write up some logic that increments/decrements the tracked variable when AGVs cross those control points.
