Default Two-way AGV Aisle with Passing

Attached is a model that shows how you can arrange AGV paths, control points, and control areas to simulate an aisle that is wide enough for two AGVs.

AGVs can pass going the same direction or different directions down the aisle, but no more than 2 AGVs can be at the same point along the aisle.

How it works:
  • I used two 1-way paths for each direction in the aisle.
  • For each control point connected to a rack, I made a separate path that goes off of the main path so that the main path can be used for passing in the same direction.
  • I created a control area that covers both path directions so that only 2 can be in that area at a time (either 2 going different directions or 2 going the same direction).
