Intelligent transportation systems are currently under strong research and are expected to promote the emergence of new solutions for urban transportation networks. Here we introduce a variant of the open vehicle routing problem, called vehicle routing with backup provisioning, where the possibility of reacting to overloading/overcrowding of vehicles in certain stops is considered. This is based on the availability of vehicle load information in real time, which can be captured using wireless sensor technologies. A heuristic algorithm to plan routes is also proposed. Results show that vehicle routing with backup provisioning can be a way of providing sustainable urban mobility with efficient use of resources, while increasing quality of service perceived by users.
