The invention relates to a tire conveyor for a transport device, in particular gondolas, of a cable car installation. The conveyor includes tires, which are arranged along a track, and a drive train for the tires. The drive train has at least one drive pulley, in particular a belt pulley, and at least one drive device, in particular a belt. A guide is arranged along the track, at least in some sections, and at least one measurement device for measuring at least one property of the drive train or a component of the drive train is displaceable on the guide.

In order to make it easier to access an access unit (4) of a cableway support (1) of a cableway (2), according to the invention a climb-over apparatus (15) for persons to climb over from a cable car (7) of the cableway (2) onto the access unit (4) or vice versa is provided on the cableway support (1), wherein the climb-over apparatus (15) is positioned on the cableway support (1) by means of a fastening unit (21) so as to be movable relative to the access unit (4), wherein the climb-over apparatus (15) can be displaced relative to the access unit (4) from a rest position (RP), in which the climb-over apparatus (15) is stowed on the access unit (4), into a standby position (BP), which is provided for performing the climb-over action.

Systems and methods for improved operations of ski lifts increase skier safety at on-boarding and off-boarding locations by providing an always-on, always-alert system that “watches” these locations, identifies developing problem situations, and initiates mitigation actions. One or more video cameras feed live video to a video processing module. The video processing module feeds resulting sequences of images to an artificial intelligence (AI) engine. The AI engine makes an inference regarding existence of a potential problem situation based on the sequence of images. This inference is fed to an inference processing module, which determines if the inference processing module should send an alert or interact with the lift motor controller to slow or stop the lift.

To simplify the operation of a cableway and at the same time ensure safe operation, it is provided that, in a cableway station, at least one openable safety barrier is provided, wherein a sensor for detecting an opening state of the at least one safety barrier is provided in the cableway station, which sensor transmits a sensor signal to a control unit of a cableway drive as a function of the opening state, wherein the control unit controls the cableway drive as a function of the obtained sensor signal, wherein the control unit is provided to stop the cableway drive or to reduce a drive speed of the cableway drive, when a sensor signal corresponding to an open position of the safety barrier is received, wherein the safety barrier has a remotely-operable actuating unit which can be activated, by means of a remote control unit, to reset the safety barrier from the open position, in which the cableway drive is stopped or the drive speed is reduced, into a closed position, in which the cableway drive can be activated again or the drive speed can be increased again.

Construction 3D printing, although a technology that is expected to provide cost, speed and environmental benefits as compared to the traditional construction practices, suffers from inefficient and often troublesome material delivery by pumping cementitious material through hoses or pipes. The present application addresses the need for a consistent and discrete payload delivery between a source and a moving destination. The invention describes an aerial tram delivery system that provides real-time, on-demand, and discrete transportation of material from a material source to the moving destination printheads of the construction 3D printer. Such discrete delivery of material is applicable and beneficial to other applications as described.
