Notes

- The ~BLVST command specifies the beginning of the definition loop of the vehicle type; it is necessary to end the loop using the ~BLVEND command. The definition items of the vehicle type are introduced in the ~BLVA, ~BLVB, ~BLVC and ~BLVD, command, and the loop structure is shown hereafter:

~BLVST, Num

~BLVA, n, a₁, a₂, ..., a_n-1

~BLVB, m, b₁, b₂, ..., b_m-1

~BLVC, Type, d, start, end, xLoc, yLoc

~BLVD, j, Ini, PIni, j, P_Ini+1,j, ..., P_n,j

~BLVEND

- If a ~BLVA or ~BLVB command is repeated with the N or M fields different than zero, the previous A_i or B_i values are deleted. In addition the introduced P_ij loads will be deleted.

- If a ~BLVD command with a j field other than zero is repeated, the previous P_ij values will be deleted.

- The ~BLVEND command verifies that at least one P_ij load is different than zero.

- In the ~BLVC command, the blank fields will be taken as zero.
