The network in its current state can't work with multiple AGVs. As they share a single main path, oncoming traffic will deadlock the system as the vehicles can't pass each other. Either build parallel paths with one going in each direction (at least for the main path) or abtract the problem away by allowing multiple allocations of the control points at the same time.

To wait for a load at the dropoff location it helps to partition the work list by the location of the item. You can then build a simple Process Flow that has the AGVs pick an item at the main source, travel to the destination, pull an item at the destination (referenced by centerport-connection) and then return.
