Can I use the battery change with A* algorithm?

Hello, dear.

I try to move the AGV using A* algorithm. But, I don't know AGV's battery charge with A* together.

Could I have a solution on this problem?

Thank you.

I expect without testing, that the AStar navigator won’t control a taskexecuter on an AGV module network. The AStar evaluates the offset travel tasktypes and the AGV Network evaluates the standard travel task type. Maybe you can get the AStar taskexecuter like an offset traveling operator to avoid a collision with a vehicle connected to a AGV network path system. But two vehicles on an AGV path system collision is controlled by the allocation of path sections.

Thank you @Jörg Vogel.

I'm trying to operate AGV on AGV network and Astar Navigator together, but I can't connect both network to AGV.

So, I considered the another way on using Astar Navigator. I'll make a similar battery logic through using the operation time of AGV or moving distance.

So.... Can I have a solution on calculating that time or distance?

@wonjo P

to get the travel distance, you can use the script below

getvarnum(Model.find("YourAGV"), "totaltraveldist");
