Hello I am trying to get the AGV to pass another AGV if alternate path is available. I was able to do so by re-directing the AGV. I had to setup and use connections ("ParkPoints" to be able to use it. I am wondering if there are alternate methods to access the CP that are directly connected to a specific CP. My sample model is attached.
Technically, you could search for the next CPs along the current path and across transfer clusters starting from any given CP. I recently experimented with this in the attached model. The user command in it searches for the next CP in the network, though the search is "depth first", always checking the path connected to the farthest transfer cluster first.
I honestly don't think that using this as a general rule is a good idea though. I fear that you will end up sending AGVs down random spurs when they become blocked, even when it doesn't make sense. There will need to be some kind of manual oversight over when the redirection is allowed. And the cp connections you are using are exactly that. They allow you to define where a redirection might makes. Though I would create a new connection type or at least rename an existing one for this purpose.
