A method and a system for controlling the travel path of automated guided vehicles in a system where at least one automated guided vehicle is in the form of a towing vehicle pulling at least a first wagon. A path for the towing vehicle to travel along is determined, as well as a first position of the towing vehicle. Data identifying the first position is stored in a data storage unit and a reserved state is assigned to a path portion based on the stored data. A second vehicle is prohibited from entering the path portion while in the reserved state, to prevent collision. The towing vehicle is moved from the first position, along the path, to a second position, and the reserved state of the path portion is cancelled once the first wagon has passed the path portion.
