Dynamically changing speed of AGV

I tried a suggestion from @Jacob Gillespie on this subject (https://answers.flexsim.com/comments/81458/view.html).

I have noticed that max speed parameter in the properties of AGV have changed. But the speed of the AGV seems not affected in the 3D view. Probably overridden by the path definition? Any advice?

Hello @phil.bobo

Thank for your reply. OK, now I understand that agv speed can only be controlled by the class or agvtype defined in the path.

Customers requirement is to change speed every 750mm it travels.

Is it possible to create an event when agv travels 750mm then change the path class or agvtype with that event, then let the setting effect immediately?

Thank you in advance,

Create paths that are 750mm long and set a different path class for each one.

Or give the AGV a travel task to travel 750mm at a time and change its load type each time. Each time an AGV is given a travel task, it fires the Initialize Travel to set the load type, which determines which column of the table it will use.

See Is it possible to define different acceleration for AGVs in the same path?

Hello @phil.bobo,

Thank you for your reply. i've tested the first solution and it worked thank you. I want to also try the second solution to make agv travel 750mm with travel task. But how should I define the Destination with Travel Task?

Thank you in advance,
