Priority to the network node path

[ FlexSim 24.1.0 ]

Hi Team,

In the model attached I want to give the priority for the path1. So if there is any AGV moving on path one, the other truck on path2, path3 and path4 should wait.

I tried this with the help of traffic controller using Untimed Traffic Modes. But was not able to control the movement. I tried using multiple traffic controllers but still was not able to give the priority to path1.NetworkNode_MutipleTC_1.fsm

So please help me with this or suggest some alternate option to give priority to the path.

Thank you

No, you still need the Wait for Event activity, but you wouldn't listen to the whole group but to a specific NN defined in a token label.

How do I make the traveler matches for that NN in wait for event activity??

In the "Driving into Intersection" Decide activity I assign the next NN to a label and then use that in the Wait for Event activity.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann

Thank you for the model. It is working as per the need.

But is it possible to make one truck wait behind the other truck while waiting at the intersection, instead of overlapping on each other. I tried using "do not travel offset and block space on network". But it's not working.

The only way I've found to achieve this is to build out the travel task in Process Flow: Travel to intersection -> Check if Free -> Continue Or Wait.

With the other logic the trucks are already past the NN when they are stopped and thus the non-passing rule doesn't come into play.

You will need to decide if the extra work is worth it. When the trucks leave the intersection they will stagger for the last leg of the journey. So as far as arrival times at the queues are concerned, there is no difference whether they queue in front of the intersection or not.

Thanks for the suggestion.
