Note. The vehicle path in the table above is represented by the number sequence of the passenger demand points passed by. For example, 5-2-3-12-4-D1 indicates that the vehicle passes through the passenger demand points numbered 5, 2, 3, 12, and 4 in turn and finally arrives at the target station numbered D1. “Number of passengers served” corresponds to “vehicle path.” For example, in the data in row 5, “vehicle path” is 1-2-10-D1, and number of passengers served is 2-1-1, which means that the number of passengers served at the passenger demand point with No. 1 is 2, and the number of passengers served at the passenger demand point Nos. 2 and 10 is 1.
