ABSTRACT:
A cable car system has a suspension and traction cable carrying passenger rriers, such as lift chairs. The cable is guided around two deflection pulleys. A conveyor device conveys passengers from an entrance gate to a boarding point at which the passengers board to carriers. The opening of the entrance gate and the conveyor device are controlled with a central control unit. The central control unit receives signals from various sensors, such as a signal transducer which is tripped when a passenger carrier passes by, and a speed transducer which measures the speed of the suspension and traction cable. A measuring instrument provides information with regard to the distance traversed by a specific passenger carrier which has tripped the signal transducer. The entrance gate is opened by the central control unit as a function of the output signal of the signal transducer and of the measuring instrument, and further on condition that at least one passenger is present at the gate.
