ABSTRACT:
The invention is a system and method for managing a resource having a stop point. Each of at least one mobile machine includes a queue manager adapted to generate a queue position request as the mobile machine approaches the resource. A resource manager is adapted to establish a queue to control access to the resource. After receiving the queue position request from the approaching mobile machine, the resource manager generates a queue position and sends it to the mobile machine. The resource manager then determines the next stop point to be accessed. When the resource is available to receive another mobile machine, the resource manger directs the first mobile machine in the selected queue to proceed to access the stop point.
