Abstract
A transportation system is controlled by an apparatus. The apparatus has a communicator adapted to communicate with a second apparatus. The apparatus also has a processor. When the communicator and the processor are controlling the transportation system, they are configured for transmitting to the second apparatus. A first status message defines a first status of the transportation system. When the communicator and the processor are being kept as a reserve for the second apparatus, the communicator and the processor are configured for receiving one second status message defining a second status of the transportation system from the second apparatus.
