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.

A cable transportation system comprising: at least a cable; an upstream station and a downstream station between which the cable extends; a plurality of supporting intermediate structures for supporting the cable between the upstream station and the downstream station; a plurality of transporting units coupled above the cable in a configuration suspended in the void and free to swing; an alarm device configured for detecting the contact between the transporting units and the supporting intermediate structures when a threshold tilting angle of the transporting units is exceeded and for emitting a relative alarm signal.

An inductive sensor insusceptible to external electromagnetic fields. The sensor coil is designed so as to have a first winding part and a second winding part connected thereto, the first winding part and the second winding part being wound in opposite directions. The first winding part is connected to a first coil terminal and the second winding part is connected to a second coil terminal.

In order to be able to more reliably assess and react to the potential hazard when a vehicle of a cable car enters a station of the cable car, it is provided that the deflection of the vehicle before the station entrance is measured by the sensor and transmitted to the cable car control unit, that at the same time the occurrence of a wind gust before the station entrance is detected by the cable car control unit and that the cable car control unit controls a cable car drive as a function of the transmitted deflection and of the detected wind gust.

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.

In order to be able to reliably prevent the departure of a vehicle without a locking of the closure device in a cableway with a locking monitor, a second receiving device is provided in the movement direction of the vehicle after the first receiving device. After the start of the vehicle in the first station, the transponder of the vehicle enters the effective range of the second receiving device, and the transponder transmits a signal with the locking state to the second receiving device. The cableway is stopped before the vehicle leaves the first station when the signal to the second receiving device indicates a faulty lock mechanism.
