If the traffic schedule node dies for any reason, the entire RMF system will end up in a half-alive, half-dead state where some things work and some do not. As time progresses, because bits of RMF are not working, other bits will increasingly behave badly. For example, new robot routes will not negotiate correctly.
We need to add redundancy to the schedule node so that if it dies a replacement of some kind will be there to take its place and perform its functions, keeping the RMF system going.
