Abstract: In the article “New Technological Approach to Cable Car Boarding”, the authors attempted to correctly design the curve geometrically along which the rope moves through the station during the deceleration of cabins with attaching platforms in a central position, primarily intended for mass public transport. Since the suspension continuously connects the cabin and the rope during cabin deceleration, the rope moves at a constant speed along a special curve that enables the cabin to stop in the central position. This curve is symmetric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the station. However, the authors found that in the previous article presenting this cable car system, an error was made in the geometric design of the rope path curve, which the original authors were not aware of at the time. They determined that, in the presented example, a suspension length of 8 m was too short for the combination of rope speed of 5 m/s (cable car speed) and cabin deceleration of 0.5 m/s2. This article revisits this geometric problem in greater detail. The study shows that not every combination of rope speed, suspension length, and cabin deceleration in the central position functions correctly. First, the boundary conditions and spatial constraints of the rope path curve were defined. Based on the upper bound and lower bound rope path lengths, the optimal or correct shape of the rope path curve was determined geometrically. The study concludes that for a given combination of rope speed (cable car speed) and cabin deceleration, only one suspension length is suitable. In the case of a rope speed of 5 m/s and cabin deceleration of 0.5 m/s2, the correct suspension length is 16.85 m. The authors also found that the result depends on the time interval used in constructing the curve.

Abstract: Diplomsko delo obravnava tematiko prometne in logistične karakteristike dostopne žičnice Žekovec na smučišče Golte. Tema dela se osredotoča predvsem na opis prometnih in logističnih karakteristik nihalke z izračunom kapacitete žičniških naprav na Golteh in izračunom potrebnega števila parkirnih mest pri spodnji postaji nihalke. Podati želimo predloge in ukrepe za izboljšave na obstoječi infrastrukturi in primerjati nihalno žičnico s krožno kabinsko žičnico. Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in praktičnega dela. V teoretičnem delu so v prvih štirih poglavjih opisana področja, ki morajo biti razjasnjena, preden se pobliže pogleda samo analizo trenutnega stanja. Predstavljena je zgodovina in razvoj smučarskega centra, delitev in razvoj žičniških naprav ter podrobneje opisana nihalka Žekovec z vsemi tehničnimi in ostalimi karakteristikami. V analizi stanja so opravljene meritve parkirišč in podano število le-teh. Opravljeni so izračuni kapacitet smučarskih prog in žičniških naprav, saj iz tega lahko ugotovimo število potrebnih parkirnih mest. V analizo je zajeta spodnja in zgornja postaja nihalke ter podana primerjava nihalke in krožno kabinske žičnice.

Abstract: This paper examines the reliability of the operation of cableway systems in Slovenia, which has major impact on the quality of service in the mountain tourism, mainly in wintertime. Different types of cableway installations in Slovenia were captured in a sample and fault tree analysis (FTA) was made on the basis of the obtained data. The paper presents the results of the analysis. With these results it is possible to determine the probability of faults of different types of cableways, which types of faults have the greatest impact on the termination of operation, which components of cableways fail most, what is the impact of age of cableways on the occurrence of the faults. Finally, an attempt was made to find if occurrence of faults on individual cableway installation has also impact on traffic on this cableway due to reduced quality of service.

Abstract: The paper studies the problem of constructing cableways with advanced technology and their influence on the operation and development of cableway companies from several aspects. Modern cableways with detachable grips enable faster carriage of passengers. They have the possibility of transporting more passengers over the same distances. Recently, this trend of introducing modern cableways has been particularly present in chairlifts which carry skiers. Such chairlifts with detachable grips allow transport of skiers over greater distances and therefore must have respective ski slopes covering wider areas which in turn affects the expansion of the mountain tourist centres. The chairlifts with detachable grips require more knowledge and personnel to manage and maintain them, as well as more investment capital.
