AGV traffic, same point allocation

Good morning, I have a question, imagine that I have two AGVs and they both allocate the same point, traveling the same route in opposite directions, that is, one would have to retreat for the other to continue and unload. After unloading, it would retreat, now it is the second AGV's turn to unload. I don't know if it's clear, but how would you control this?

@Alonso, let me assume you are asking this for an A*Star grid? Let one retreat by an preempting tasksequence and add a delay at the end. Set a higher priority to the task that is being preempted, that this would get a into action right after the preempted task sequence has been finished.

If you're using a process flow then you just need to acquire a shared resource (Zone, List entry or maybe a 'Resource') once the AGV reaches a possible waiting position, and release that shared resource when you are out of the way. The bigger questions will be, where are you waiting and where do you travel to in order to get out of the way. You could also try using a control area but the same questions will arise.
