Step 13. Centroid 1 is added (permanently labeled) to the MP tree.
Travel forecasting convention doesn't allow minimum paths to pass through a centroid
because centroid connectors are typically abstract representations of local streets
and not actual links. Therefore, no further searching occurs from this node (even if
there had been outbound links). Furthermore, this is the last centroid in the network
and, in transportation networks, the search stops when the last centroid is added to
the MPT. The minimum path tree for origin node 5 is complete. The algorithm would be
repeated with each other centroid as the home node, producing the table of interzonal
minimum path travel times.
