Abstract: An aerial cable transportation system comprising: at least one hauling cable; a first fixed structure; at least one transportation unit; a plurality of sensors configured for detecting the passage of the transportation units; a control unit; wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least a first sensor arranged at the exit area of the first fixed structure and at least a second sensor downstream of the first sensor, respectively, at is least a distance s1 from the first sensor measured in cable-meters; wherein the control unit is connected to the sensors and is configured for: upon the passage of each transportation unit at the first sensor, starting to count the meters of cable fed outside the first fixed structure; when the counting of the meters of cable fed outside the first fixed structure reaches amounts about equal to the at least one distance s1, autonomously activating safety procedures if the passage of the transportation unit is not detected by each corresponding second sensor downstream of th

Abstract: A station for a cable transportation system comprising a plurality of transporting units supported and moved outside the station by at least one cable, the station comprising an inlet and an outlet for the transporting units; a guiding device for guiding the transporting units inside the station between the inlet and the outlet; wherein the guiding device comprises an inlet guide extending from the inlet to a diverging point, a plurality of intermediate guides extending along different paths between the diverging point and a converging point; and an outlet guide extending from the converging point to the outlet of the station; a control unit configured for alternately feeding at least a transporting unit along the intermediate guides and for temporary stopping the transporting unit at at least one stopping point along the intermediate guides for enabling the embarking and disembarking while the transporting unit is stopped.
