Abstract: A circulating cableway having at least two cableway stations and a plurality of cableway vehicles which can be moved between the cableway stations with a conveyor cable, wherein each cableway vehicle has a cabin for receiving objects, and wherein a control unit is provided for controlling the circulating cableway, also includes a first detection device in at least a first of the at least two cableway stations configured to detect an object provided for loading in a cabin of a cableway vehicle in a loading region of the first cableway station and to determine an object type for the object, and wherein the control unit is configured to operate the circulating cableway in a defined transport operating mode when the object type determined for the object is a specified object type. An associated method of operating a circulating cableway is also disclosed.

Abstract: A cableway having at least one cableway station and having at least one cableway vehicle movable between cableway stations with a hauling cable, wherein a control unit is provided for controlling the cableway, the cableway including a limiting device configured adjacent an entry region of the cableway station and operable to limit a lateral pendulum movement of the cableway vehicle as the cableway vehicle enters the cableway station; at least one movable detection element adjacent the cableway station; a detection unit associated with the at least one movable detection element and configured to detect a measured variable associated with a deflection of the detection element and transmit a corresponding signal to the control unit, and wherein the control unit is configured to receive the corresponding signal and control the cableway as a function of the detected measured variable. An associated method for operating a cableway is also described.

Abstract: In order to provide a cable car that enables an operation as autonomous as possible with the highest possible safety for persons, it is provided that in at least one cable car station a detection apparatus is provided for detecting a measurement variable of an airborne sound, that a classification unit is provided that is designed for this purpose, to identify at least one defined safety-relevant sound event from the measurement variable or a variable derived therefrom, and in that the control unit is designed to operate the cable car in a defined safety operating mode when a defined safety-relevant sound event is identified.
