Trigger AGV to reach destination in a specific time

I am looking for a way to trigger AGV from one point to another in a specific time. AGV should increase speed to any number using acceleration/deceleration I give as an input to ensure it reaches destination on time.

I think you could do it by calculating the distance between the two points and determining the speed it would need to arrive in the specified time. Then set the AGV speed in code before it does the travel.

I've had to do this for the operators in several models since there is no option to make them walk somewhere in a specific amount of time - so I think it could be done with the AGVs.

Here is an example model. It's kind of a pain to get at the AGV speeds to set them but hopefully this will get you started. Let me know if you have any questions about what I did.

I'm wondering why you want to model this? Because I don't think there is a system in real live where you know the arrival time of an AGV. The only thing that I can imagine is if you have data that specifies an arrival time. But If you model that, your are not simulating but creating an animation. The reason I'm asking is that this is far from a natural AGV approach and for that reason quite complex to achieve.
