This is the app that halted train Norway – TV 2

– We have not yet found the bug, 20 people are working hard, says pressevakt Day Svinsås Jernbaneverket to TV2 9:30 o’clock Monday.

Jernbaneverket illuminated at 7:30 o’clock that there is an error in the communications system FIDO which led to delays across the country. The FIDO will togførerne get their running orders on tablets.

The system which was adopted on the 12th April this year, has been booklet with delays. Last autumn, described the project manager Anders Linnerud FIDO facing Lokomotivmands Tidende “too unstable to be able to be used” but that it would “is a backup system that will be used if FIDO not work.”

Monday confirmed however Jernbaneverket that there is no fallback, like a cell phone, between the train driver and dispatcher.

– The problem is that the dispatching unable to verify whether togførerne receive driving commands or not. Thus, the trains can not run, says Svinsås in Iron Works to digi.no.
