Objects using different navigation networks?

[hannah_s4]

[ FlexSim 21.0.10 ]

I have a model that uses AGV network navigation and A* navigation. Is it possible to make the task executers that use these networks visible to each other? Ideally I would like the objects using A* navigation to avoid the objects using the AGV network. For the objects in the AGV network I would like them to reroute their path if an object that uses the A* is stopped in their way. I have multiple different AGV network paths routing to the same control point.

I can't share a copy of my model.

You can use the proximity agent behaviour to detect travelers of other navigators.

How can you trigger a reroute in the AGV network and the A* navigation using the agent system? I've successfully stopped objects before but I haven't been able to reroute them.

Hello @Hannah S4,

Its hard to know how exactly to help without more context. When I have used the proximity system it was possible to stop one TE and the other can continue. You can also use event triggered sources for when something becomes blocked and create a way to reroute from that.
