    摘要: For reliable, failsafe monitoring of the locking of a closure device of a vehicle of a cableway is disclosed in which provision is made for an electrical connection to be established between a vehicle powerline modem on the vehicle and a station powerline modem, which is connected to the cableway controller, via a busbar in the station, with which contact is made by a current collector of the vehicle, and for the locking status of a locking unit to be transmitted from the vehicle to the cableway controller via this connection by means of powerline communication, wherein, in the event of defective locking, the vehicle is stopped in the region of a busbar in the station and the locking status is transmitted to the cableway controller again when the vehicle is at a standstill.

    摘要: A transport system includes a main cable, a track assembly, and a conveyance assembly, wherein the track assembly is suspended from the main cable to allow unimpeded translational movement of the conveyance assembly along the track assembly. In another aspect according to the present invention, the track assembly has a track changing assembly that includes a track changing section rotatably coupled to a primary track section for selective alignment of the track changing section to any one of a plurality of exit track sections. A method of conveyance along a suspended track includes suspending a main cable between natural or artificial support structures, suspending a track assembly from the main cable, and mounting a conveyance assembly on the suspended track assembly to provide unimpeded translational movement of the conveyance assembly along the track assembly.

    摘要: In a continuously moving cableway installation (9), a haul rope (13b) extends as a closed loop defining a transportation path (12). Suspended vehicles (14) can be connected to the rope by means of automatic coupling devices (24). Along the rope path, passenger stations (10) are provided, each providing ramps (22) to cause the clamping or release of the automatic coupling devices (24), fixed power supply conductors (30), and overhead rails (28). Mounted on board each vehicle (14) are: a motor-driven trolley (20), an electrical contact (30a) to contact one of the power supply conductors (30) in the passenger stations (10), an electric power battery (43), and an electric motor (42) with driving wheels (40) associated thereto, which are suitable for rolling on the overhead rails (28) in order to move the vehicle within and proximate to the passenger stations.
