AGV Control point On Arrival and On Exit trigger

I found that On Arrival and On Exit events are available for the AGV control point. When it exactly triggers the event? Why does my model not create a token for the On Arrival or On Exit trigger? 

I attached a sample model in which I want to have a token created when the control point 2 triggers On Arrival and On Exit. But never a token created. Anyone please explain what I missed or should do?

For the OnArrival event to fire the AGV must come to a stop at the control point. The OnExit event is the same as for other objects, it triggers when an object that was a subnode of the CP is moved out of it. It's the opposite of the OnEntry event.

To know when a vehicle passes a point you can use the OnAllocated, OnPrearrival and OnDeallocated events. The timing of the first two depends on the speed and deceleration of the AGV. You get the most precision by using the deallocation event in conjunction with a custom deallocation type. To not have this affect accumulation, you can use a non-wait-point CP.
