From the cutoff-point(s) in time interval 1, calculate the shortest path(s) to the destination through time interval 2. The path with the lowest value is the sought path. Join the paths.
The cell value at the cutoff-point for time interval 1added to the cell values of the shortest path in time interval 2 is the total cost for the joined path.
