Reversing TaskExecuter

What would be the easiest and most flexible way to model reversing TaskExecuter? In my model, the TE moves pallets into a tunnel and returns backward (as there is no space to rotate).

"Rotate while traveling" selection does not solve the problem because the TE must follow curved path while reversing. Should I switch the TE geometry between "reversing TE" and "forward TE" depending on the moving direction? That sound a little hazard, doesn't it?

@tomi.kosunen Try to play around with the "Flip threshold". Use the triggers on the path network node to set the "Flip threshold" correctly.

You can set "Flip threshold" value is 1~179,it's OK!

Thanks. I did play with the flip threshold and the result was good enough.

@tomi.kosunen

I have read your question based on my understanding i have built a sample model and i have attach it for your reference . i don't know whether it is correct or not . have a look on it

Thank you

Thanks Gilbert for your post. That doesn't exactly solve my problem. Your sample model demonstrates 1)"Rotate while traveling" selection which did not was the solution , 2) TE traveling free without node network which does not solve the problem either and 3) TE traveling always forward. So I'm still on need for some advice.
