question about choosing path??

Hi,all
I habe a question needed your help:
I am building a model, in which there are three path (Pic attached).
By default, those transporters would take the shortest path, but I would like the transporters to take a path, on which there are smallest number of cars.

thanks!

Modeling this situation based on your second image is rather simple. You can just modify the Send To Port picklist option "Shortest Queue" to check the content() plus the number of transports in transit (getvarnum(obj,"nroftransportsin")).


Modeling this situation based on your first image is difficult because it is not easy to determine how many flowitems are along each path without keeping track of this information yourself. You would also need to customize the task sequence to travel to a particular node before traveling to the ultimate destination.

Hi,Phil
thanks a lot for your reply and attachment.

I built a model based on the first image.The code was writen on the NN14. I found a node("active travelers") ,i thought it's content is just the number of operators bettween two NetworkNodes.so i used it . if someone feel that it is wrong,please correct it.
anyone have a better idea?

thanks.
