An aerial ropeway transportation system for combined freight and passenger transport – a simulation study
Aerial ropeways or cableways are a common means of transport in mountainous regions. Quite unusual is a ropeway combining both freight and passenger transport. Such a system provides a supplementary solution to arising logistical problems in areas with dedicated spatial challenges. A simulation study for a potential application linking two infrastructural nodes in an alpine tourist region was used to analyse the performance of such a system. Various system configurations and operating strategies for controlling the freight transport were examined. The major findings show the interrelated effects on freight and passenger transportation capacities and the trade-off between them. The simulation model can easily be adapted and transferred to other potential applications.
