  • the detection means D11 of the first detection means D11, D12 detects whether the vehicle that is about to along the platform 15 is a seat S or a cabin C and transmits to the control unit Uc a selection signal 201 representative of the vehicle type. Given the position of the detection means D11, this detection is performed upstream of the platform 15 in the direction of travel of the cable 10 and regardless of the speed of travel of the cable 10.
  • the detection means D21 of the second detection means D21, D22 detects the presence of passengers on the platform 15 of the downstream station 11 and transmits a presence signal 211 representative of the presence of at least one passenger P on the platform 15, or the absence of passenger P.
  • the control unit Uc determines in a step F3 if the vehicle is a cabin C according to the selection signal 201 received. If the vehicle is a cabin (Yes output of F3), the third means of detection of presence of passengers aboard the cabin C transmits a presence signal 23 representative of the presence of at least one passenger P on board the cabin C, or the absence of passenger P.
  • control unit Uc determines in a step F5 if at least one passenger P is embarked in the cabin C according to the presence signal 23 received. If a passenger P is embarked (output Yes of F5), the control unit Uc goes to a step F6 in which it provides the speed control of the motor M, via a control signal 24 adapted, from such that the cable 10 is driven, during the displacement of the cabin C along the platform 15 of the downstream station 11, at a low speed of scrolling allowing the safe landing of the passenger (s) boarded (s) in the cabin C on the platform 15.
  • the low speed of movement is substantially equal to 0.25 m / s.
  • the control unit Uc determines in a step F7 whether at least one passenger P is present on the platform 15 of the downstream station 11 according to the presence signal 211 received in step F2. If a passenger P is present and ready to embark (exit Yes of F7), the control unit Uc goes to the step F6 previously described to maintain the low speed of scrolling as the cabin C is along the dock 15 so that the passenger P can board the cabin C safely. On the other hand, if there is no passenger P on the platform 15 (exit No of F7), the control unit Uc proceeds to a step F8 in which it manages the control. motor speed M, via a control signal 24 adapted, so that the cable 10 is driven, during the movement of the cabin C along the platform 15 of the downstream station 11, at a high speed scrolling higher than the small scrolling speed.
  • control unit Uc imposes, during the displacement of the cabin along the platform 15, a high speed of travel of the cable 10 in the absence of passengers P on the platform 15 and aboard the cabin C and a small speed of travel of the cable 10 if at least one passenger P is detected on the platform 15 or on board the cabin C.
  • This method makes it possible to overcome unwanted and unnecessary delays in the speed of travel of the cable 10 , which occurred in the prior art in case of absence of passenger P wishing to embark or disembark.
  • step F3 if the vehicle is a seat S (output No of F3), the control unit Uc goes directly to step F8, so as to ensure rapid movement of the seat S along the platform 15, for a saving of time and therefore of efficiency in terms of passenger flow P.
  • the control unit Uc provides identical management of the running speed of the cable 10 for any passage of a vehicle C, S through the upstream station 12. This management is performed using the detection means D12, the means detecting means D22, third detection means, selection signals 202 and presence signals 212 and 23.
  • the high speed of travel of the cable corresponds to a speed allowing the passengers P to board the seats S safely in the area 16 of the downstream station 11, and to disembark safely at level of the zone 17 of the upstream station 12.
  • Such a choice of high speed of scrolling makes it possible to avoid the frequent variations of the running speed of the cable 10, for to increase the comfort of the passengers P on the seats S and in the cabins C.
  • the cable 10 is continuously driven either at the low speed of travel or at the high speed of travel. The transition, if any, from one speed of travel to another speed is carried out while a vehicle travels the section directly upstream of one of the platforms 15.
  • step F1 If the speed of scrolling at the time of the step F1 is the great speed and if the vehicle is a cabin C, the control unit Uc does not control the speed reduction to the low speed (according to step F6) for the displacement of the cabin C along the platform 15 in downstream if a passenger P is embarked or wishes to embark.
  • the control unit Uc automatically ensures (step F8) the return to the high speed of movement right out of the cabin C of the platform 15 except in the case where a second cabin C would in turn prepare to go along one 15.
  • the low speed of scrolling is likely to be maintained until the end of displacement of the second cabin C along the corresponding platform 15 according to the cycle applied to the second cabin C ends by step F6 or step F8.
  • the transition from the low speed to the high speed is achieved as soon as the first cabin is moved along the corresponding platform 15. It is also performed if the vehicles preparing to go along the two platforms 15 are S seats. Therefore, the steps F6 and F8 each comprise a possible first phase during which the control unit Uc ensures the variation of speed of running the cable 10 to the set speed (respectively the small and the high speed) and a second phase during which the set value is maintained.
  • the first phase is performed while the vehicle is directly upstream of the wharf 15 while the second phase, mandatory, is performed while the vehicle is moving along the wharf 15.
  • each of the detection means D11 and D12 of the first detection means D11, D12 is arranged such that it is remote from the end of the platform 15 directly downstream in the direction of travel, a distance less than the spacing between two vehicles C, S along the cable 10.
  • the step F1 of the cycle to be applied to a vehicle preparing to move along a platform 15 is carried out before that step F6 or F8 of the cycle applied to the vehicle preceding it in the direction of travel does not end.
  • the type of vehicle C, S is detected before the end of the movement, along the loading and unloading platform 15, of the vehicle C, S preceding it in the direction of travel.
  • the arrangement of the detection means D11 and D12 thus depend on the value attributed to the high speed of movement and the spacing between the vehicles C, S. More precisely, the multiplication of these two parameters must be less than the distance separating each detection means D11 and D12 and the end of the platform 15 directly downstream of said means.
  • the programming of the control unit Uc is such that at least the step F2 of the cycle to be applied to a vehicle preparing to move along a platform 15 is carried out at the end of step F6 or F8 of the cycle applied to the vehicle preceding it in the direction of travel.
  • the presence of passengers P on the embarkation and disembarkation wharf 15 is detected at the end of the movement (preferably just before the end), along wharf 15, of the vehicle preceding it in the direction of travel. .
  • step F1 the detection of the vehicle type (step F1) and the detection of presence of passengers P on the platform 15 (step F2) are both carried out before step F6 or F8 of the cycle applied to the preceding vehicle does not end
  • the control unit Uc is able to determine whether the cable 10 will have to be driven at the low speed (step F6) or at the high speed (step F8 ) when the vehicle will move along the platform 15 of said station.
  • Such management offers the possibility of making variations in speed of movement from low speed to high speed, or conversely, over a period of time sufficient for it to be practiced with a low value acceleration or deceleration for the first time. comfort of passengers P embedded.
  • this management makes it possible to increase the running speed (for a gain in terms of passenger flow P) up to the high speed as soon as the end of the low speed movement of a cabin C along the platform. 15.
  • the first detection means D11, D12 can be arranged at any point in the trajectory of the vehicles C, S on the entire transport installation.
  • the passenger presence detection step P 2 P on the platform 15 can indifferently be carried out between the steps F1 and F3 as previously described, or between the steps F5 and F7. In any case, it is necessary to detect the type of vehicle C, S and the presence of at least one passenger P on the platform 15 or in the cabin C if the vehicle C, S is a cabin C, and to train the cable at the low speed of travel if the vehicle is a cabin and if at least one passenger P is detected on the platform 15 or in the cabin C.
