Abstract

An overhead structure, for a cableway installation of the type having at least one hauling cable, includes an entrance and an exit which are coupled respectively to an upstream portion and to a downstream portion, each generally rectilinear, of a pathway of the cableway installation. The structure also includes an intermediate portion that is curved, at least in projection in a horizontal plane of the pathway, between the entrance and the exit. The structure further includes active vehicle guidance, at least laterally, over a first portion of the curved intermediate portion, the first portion extending generally along a portion that is radioidal or pseudo-radioidal at least in projection in the horizontal plane, or a mean plane which contains the entrance and the exit, and active guidance of the hauling cable between the entrance and the exit, capable of deflecting the cable at least laterally.

Abstract

A cable guiding device for an aerial cableway system comprising at least one elongate cable support (23). The device further comprises a single pair of similar connections (39), by means of which the cable support is securely mounted on an aerial support structure. The connections (39) are arranged at a distance from one another in a longitudinal direction of the cable support (23). Each connection (39) comprises at least one corresponding damping block (59) which is inserted between the cable support (23) and the support structure (7). Each connection (39) of the pair is designed as a pseudo-embedded type connection capable of transmitting forces in the manner of a ball joint, with the effect of the damping block or blocks (59).

Abstract

The invention relates to a control device of a cable transport facility, comprising a controller capable of organizing an embarking period of a nominal duration (Tn_max) for vehicles at a station. This embarking period (Tn_max) ends with a prohibition of access to the vehicle. The controller comprises an input for receiving at least one variable representative of a vehicle occupancy. The controller is arranged to react upon receipt of such a variable during the embarking period (Tn_max) by comparing it to a threshold value and by triggering the prohibition of access to the vehicle in an anticipated manner and before the end of the embarking period (Tn_max) as a function of the result of the comparison between said variable and the threshold value.

Abstract

An overhead structure for a cableway installation of the type comprising at least one hauling cable. The structure comprises an entrance and an exit which are coupled respectively to an upstream portion (3A-1; 5A-1; 9A-1) and to a downstream portion (3A-2; 5A-2; 9A-2), each generally rectilinear, of a pathway of the cableway installation. The structure comprises an intermediate portion that is curved, at least in projection in a horizontal plane of the pathway, between the entrance and the exit. The structure further comprises active vehicle guidance, at least laterally, over a first portion (A; B) of the curved intermediate portion (3A-3; 5A-3; 9A-3), this first portion (A; B) extending generally along a portion that is radioidal or pseudo-radioidal at least in projection in the horizontal plane, or a mean plane which contains said entrance and said exit, and active guidance of the hauling cable between the entrance (A) and the exit (D), capable of deflecting this cable at least laterally.
