Abstract: A ropeway vehicle transportation network includes pairs of ropeway cables on which ropeway vehicles travel the network stations. A plurality of network stations are line changer stations connected to at least two ropeway lines. Each line changer station includes shifter rails that rotate around a vertical axis. When a first ropeway vehicle is on the shifter rails, the shifter rails can be rotated to select on which set of the at least two ropeway lines the first ropeway vehicle will traverse when the first ropeway vehicle exits the shifter rails.

Abstract: A ropeway vehicle is used within a ropeway vehicle transportation network. The ropeway vehicle includes at least one power drive wheel that is powered to move the ropeway vehicle along ropeway lines. At least one commutator wheel draws electrical power from ropeway cables that form the ropeway lines. A controller includes an on-board battery to back-up and supplement electrical power obtained from the ropeway cables.

Abstract: A microprocessor has a silicon area comprising a plurality of transistors implemented on the silicon area and a fault detection circuit occupying less than 20% of the silicon area and configured to detect faults at runtime in at least 80% of the plurality of transistors.

Abstract: A method for detecting microprocessor hardware faults includes sending at least one input signal to a logic block within the microprocessor, collecting an output response to the input signal from the logic block, and determining whether the output response matches an expected output response of the logic block.
