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.

A cableway vehicle includes an air turbulence device that is configured to generate a defined flow stall of an air flow flowing around the cableway vehicle during movement of the cableway vehicle, wherein the air turbulence device extends transversely with respect to the direction of movement at least over a part of a width of the cableway vehicle.

A cable transportation system having a rolling track extending along a designated path; a trolley configured to roll along the rolling track; a haul cable extending along the designated path and selectively connectable to the trolley; and at least one roller assembly having a frame, a plurality of rollers fitted movably to the frame, and elastic members located between the frame and the rollers to enable the rollers to assume a first operating position contacting the haul cable, and a second operating position lower than the first operating position and contacting the trolley as the trolley runs along the roller assembly.

Method (200) for controlling an installation for transporting vehicles by at least one continuously moving cable, the method comprising a step of determining at least one oscillation (201) of at least one cable and/or one of the vehicles as a function of at least one parameter chosen from an average tension of the cable, an average speed of the cable, a distance between two successive vehicles, and an average mass carried by the vehicles, a step of generating a database (202) which connects a value of the oscillation to a combination of the average tension of the cable, the average speed of the cable, the distance between two successive vehicles, and the average mass carried by the vehicles, and a step of reducing the oscillation (203) by varying any of the parameters.

A conveyor carrier includes a front end trolley that is a free trolley having an engagement dog that engages with a traction dog of a power chain drive device, and a connection rod located between the front end trolley and an object support unit. The connection rod includes a front division body and a rear division body. The front division body and the rear division body are supported by a slide support unit so as to be relatively slidable in a front-rear direction. A shock absorber in the front-rear direction is disposed between the front division body and the rear division body. The connection rod has a side surface that serves as a drive surface with which a friction roller of a friction roller drive device is in pressure contact.

A cableway in the case of which the safety and comfort for persons during the loading and unloading of the cableway vehicles can be improved as simply and economically as possible. This aim is achieved, according to the teaching, in that at least one vehicle-fixed contact rail which extends in the direction of movement of the cableway vehicle is arranged on the conveying body, and in that at least one guiding portion having at least one stationary first guiding device which extends in the direction of movement of the cableway vehicle is provided in at least one cableway station, the first guiding device cooperating with the contact rail of the cableway vehicle, at least during the movement of the cableway vehicle through the guiding portion, in order to generate a guiding force, the guiding force shifting the conveying body relative to the suspension from a rest position, in which the cableway vehicle can be moved outside of the guiding portion, into a guidance position, in which the cableway vehicle can be moved through the guiding portion.
