Filtered Shortest Path

This algorithm searches for the shortest path that meets the filter criteria between vertices. If there are multiple shortest paths, any one of them is returned. It is applicable to scenarios such as path planning and network planning. It finds the shortest path based on vertex and edge filter criteria
