How to create traversal policy using network nodes?

Hello,

I am creating a traversal routing policy for a warehouse using network nodes.

In traversal policy, the picker must traverse the whole aisle that contains an item to be stored/picked.

Currently this model uses a static solution which is simply not allowing picker to return and making it traverse the complete aisle that has item to be stored/picked. How to make this routing dynamic?

If picker enters an aisle, it should traverse that aisle completely, and should return to picking station via different aisle. As per the path in the figure below.

I tried to used open/close edge trigger on arrival and on continue but couldn't get the proper results.

You find attached a model that demonstrate the traversal. There are additional extended connections (d-type) that let enter the taskexecuter the network at a different network node after leaving the network before for an offset travel loading task.

Thank You @Jörg Vogel.

Though I didn't expect the solution this way, the method you used is pretty helpful. It worked for me.
