Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
