Disturbances:

Blokkages :

1- Car

• Switch
• Derailment
• Defective tram

##Actions
If the player is initiating an action the game is frozen until he conforms his or her choice.

1- Tow car

• Communications sign (for stations)
• Repair crew HTM for switch
• Crane
• Ambulance
• Police (car?)

##measurements: 1- Generaly the stations an a specific line will be visited in a regular schedual. (every # minutes) This means they can detect if a tram is to late. If so the disruption timer is set on. If all stations are cleared the disruption timer is stopped.

##Icon design: Generaly the disruption is to be seen with a action button which the player can press. If an action is chosen thi s desapears and a action timer is prsented.
