Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention est relative à une installation de transport à câble aérien, ayant des véhicules accouplés au câble en ligne et desservant sélectivement des stations intermédiaires.The invention relates to an aerial cable transport installation, having vehicles coupled to the in-line cable and selectively serving intermediate stations.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

On connaît de telles installations où, dans des stations intermédiaires, des passagers peuvent débarquer et embarquer dans des cabines selon les places libres et/ou libérées, exigeant en général la présence d'un ou plusieurs préposés pour surveiller et contrôler ces opérations de débarquement et d'embarquement, vérifiant que le nombre maximum de passagers admis dans les cabines n'est pas dépassé.Such facilities are known where, at intermediate stations, passengers can disembark and board in cabins according to free and / or vacated places, generally requiring the presence of one or more attendants to monitor and control these landing operations and boarding, verifying that the maximum number of passengers allowed in the cabins is not exceeded.

De telles installations avec stations intermédiaires sont relativement rares dans les télécabines touristiques, alors qu'il se développe aujourd'hui de façon importante l'utilisation de cette technologie en matière de transport urbain (ou péri urbain) où il peut y avoir un grand nombre de stations intermédiaires dans lesquelles on ne peut plus admettre, que le débarquement et l'embarquement des passagers continuent d'être régulés et contrôlés par du personnel, sur le plan de la sécurité, de la disponibilité et du débit de l'installation et sur le plan économique.Such installations with intermediate stations are relatively rare in tourist gondolas, while the use of this technology in urban (or peri-urban) transport where there can be a large number of intermediary stations which can no longer be admitted, that the disembarkation and embarkation of passengers continue to be regulated and controlled by personnel, in terms of safety, availability and the economic plan.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser une installation de transport à câbles aériens avec stations intermédiaires, permettant de contrôler automatiquement le nombre admissible de passagers en cabine.The object of the invention is to provide a cable transport installation with intermediate stations, allowing automatic control of the number of passengers in the cabin.

L'installation selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte :

  • à l'entrée de chaque station, un dispositif d'enregistrement obligatoire de la destination du passager,
  • un programmateur centralisant les informations de déplacement et de destination des véhicules et les informations d'embarquement et de débarquement des passagers, ledit programmateur calculant, à partir du nombre d'embarquements et de débarquements de passagers dans les stations précédentes, le nombre de passagers présents dans le véhicule s'arrêtant dans la station, et en soustrait le nombre enregistré de passagers débarquant dans la station pour déterminer le nombre de passagers autorisés à embarquer,
  • et un sas d'accès au quai d'embarquement, dans lequel entrent les passagers dont la destination correspond aux destinations desservies par le prochain véhicule s'arrêtant dans la station dans la limite des places disponibles.
The installation according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises:
  • at the entrance to each station, a mandatory registration device for the passenger's destination,
  • a scheduler centralizing the information on the movement and destination of the vehicles and the passenger loading and unloading information, said scheduler calculating, based on the number of embarkations and landings of passengers at the previous stations, the number of passengers present in the vehicle stopping at the station, and subtracting the number of passengers arriving at the station to determine the number of passengers allowed to board,
  • and an airlock at the boarding pier, which includes passengers whose destination corresponds to the destinations served by the next vehicle stopping at the station within the limits of available seats.

Les passagers se positionnent pour un embarquement dans un véhicule desservant leur destination et le nombre de passagers autorisés à embarquer est calculé en fonction du nombre de passagers présents dans le véhicule s'arrêtant dans la station et du nombre de passagers débarquant du véhicule.Passengers are positioned to embark on a vehicle serving their destination and the number of passengers allowed to board is calculated based on the number of passengers in the vehicle stopping at the station and the number of passengers disembarking from the vehicle.

Le dispositif d'enregistrement obligatoire de la destination du passager est agencé à l'entrée du sas.The mandatory registration device of the destination of the passenger is arranged at the entrance of the lock.

On admet sur le quai d'embarquement seulement le nombre de passagers, qui pourront prendre place dans le véhicule se présentant, sans dépasser la capacité réglementaire du véhicule.Only the number of passengers can be accommodated on the boarding platform, which can be accommodated in the vehicle, without exceeding the vehicle's regulatory capacity.

DESCRIPTION DÉTAILLÉE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Sur la figure 1 une installation à câble aérien 22, en forme de boucle, comporte des véhicules 24 qui desservent plusieurs stations intermédiaires 23. Chaque station comporte une voie dérivée 25, conduisant à un quai 26 d'embarquement et de débarquement des passagers, une voie directe 27 permettant un passage des véhicules ne s'arrêtant pas dans la station. L'invention est, bien entendu, applicable à une installation n'ayant qu'une seule voie. La station 23 présente une entrée 1, décrite plus en détail en référence à la figure 2 et un programmateur 29 qui pilote l'ensemble du fonctionnement de l'installation, en particulier le nombre de passagers présents dans les véhicules.On the figure 1 a loop-shaped aerial cable installation 22 comprises vehicles 24 which serve a plurality of intermediate stations 23. Each station comprises a derived channel 25, leading to a passenger loading and unloading platform 26, a direct route 27 enabling a passage of vehicles not stopping in the station. The invention is, of course, applicable to an installation having only one channel. Station 23 has an inlet 1, described in more detail with reference to FIG. figure 2 and a programmer 29 which controls the entire operation of the installation, in particular the number of passengers present in the vehicles.

Sur la figure 2 le quai 26, devant lequel est arrêté l'un 3 des véhicules 24, appartient à un sas 2 dans lequel entrent les passagers, voulant embarquer dans le véhicule 3. Un contrôleur d"accès 4, représenté en détail à la figure 4, est disposé à l'entrée du sas 2 .Le contrôleur 4 représenté par un tourniquet mais pouvant être d'un type différent, comporte un tableau 5 où le passager doit indiquer sa station de destination, et valider son titre de transport. Comme dans la plupart des cas, embarquement et débarquement procèdent du même quai, le sas 2 est muni de portes de sortie 6 anti retour. Des portes palières sensibles 7 ou un radar par faisceau, disposées à la sortie du sas, contrôlent le bon embarquement des passagers.
Sur la figure 4 le tableau 5 présente un clavier à boutons poussoir 9, 10 en regard de l'affichage des stations. Le bouton 9 éclairé indique que cette station est desservie par le véhicule 3 à l'arrêt dans la station, tandis qu'un bouton éteint 10 correspond à une station non desservie. Le passager, entrant dans le sas 2 actionne le bouton 9 de sa destination. Le tableau 5 comporte de plus un dispositif de validation 13 du titre de transport, un affichage 11 du nombre de passagers restant à admettre et un témoin lumineux 12 dont la couleur peut varier (passant du vert fixe au rouge clignotant, par exemple), selon le temps restant pour la sélection ou le nombre de places disponibles.On the figure 2 the platform 26, in front of which one of the vehicles 24 is stopped, belongs to an airlock 2 in which the passengers enter, wanting to board the vehicle 3. An access controller 4, shown in detail at the figure 4 , The controller 4 represented by a tourniquet but may be of a different type, comprises a table 5 where the passenger must indicate his destination station, and validate his ticket. As in most cases, embarkation and disembarkation proceed from the same platform, the airlock 2 is provided with exit 6 anti-return doors. Sensitive landing doors 7 or radar beam, arranged at the exit of the airlock, control the good boarding of the passengers.
On the figure 4 Table 5 shows a push-button keypad 9, 10 opposite the station display. The illuminated button 9 indicates that this station is served by the vehicle 3 stationary in the station, while a button off 10 corresponds to an unserved station. The passenger, entering the lock 2 activates the button 9 of its destination. Table 5 further comprises a validation device 13 of the ticket, a display 11 of the number of passengers still to be admitted and a light 12 whose color may vary (from fixed green to flashing red, for example), according to the remaining time for the selection or the number of places available.

Sur la figure 3 est représenté un portail 20 disposé à l'entrée de la station et donnant au passager un maximum d'informations telles que le nom 14 de la station, l'heure 15, les stations 16 desservies par le prochain véhicule, le décompte de temps 17 d'arrivée du véhicule et le nombre 18 de passagers restant à admettre.On the figure 3 is shown a gate 20 disposed at the entrance of the station and giving the passenger a maximum of information such as the name 14 of the station, the time 15, the stations 16 served by the next vehicle, the countdown of the arrival time of the vehicle and the number of passengers still to be admitted.

Le fonctionnement de l'installation ressort de l'exposé précédent. Un passager vérifie sur le portail 20 si le prochain véhicule dessert sa destination et s'il reste des places disponibles Dans ce dernier cas il se présente au contrôleur 4 d'accès, actionne le bouton 9 correspondant à sa destination, valide son titre de transport et pénètre dans le sas 2. A l'arrivée du véhicule 3 les portes 7 s'ouvrent et il peut embarquer. Le programmateur 29 a reçu les informations d'entrée dans le sas 2 d'un passager et de sa destination et ayant mémorisé les informations reçues lors du passage du véhicule dans les précédentes stations et tenant compte des passagers ayant débarqués dans ces stations il connaît le nombre et les destinations des passagers présents dans le véhicule. Il connaît également la prochaine destination du véhicule et en soustrayant du nombre de passagers présents dans le véhicule, le nombre de passagers arrivant à destination il déduit le nombre de places disponibles pour un embarquement dans la prochaine station à laquelle ces informations sont transmises.The operation of the installation is apparent from the previous discussion. A passenger checks on the portal 20 if the next vehicle serves its destination and if there are remaining places In the latter case it is presented to the controller 4 access, actuates the button 9 corresponding to its destination, validates its ticket and enters the airlock 2. At the arrival of the vehicle 3 the doors 7 open and it can embark. The programmer 29 has received the input information in the airlock 2 of a passenger and its destination and having memorized the information received during the passage of the vehicle in the previous stations and taking into account the passengers having disembarked in these stations he knows the number and destinations of the passengers present in the vehicle. He also knows the next destination of the vehicle and by subtracting from the number of passengers present in the vehicle, the number of passengers arriving at destination deduces the number of places available for boarding at the next station to which this information is transmitted.

Le contrôle des charges, selon l'invention, permet une automatisation complète de l'installation, notamment par le programmateur 29. Si avant l'arrivée d'un véhicule dans une station celle-ci n'a été désignée par aucun passager comme destination, et qu'aucun passager n'a été enregistré au contrôleur d'accès de ladite station, le programmateur peut modifier la programmation du véhicule et la faire traverser la station sans s'arrêter.
La désignation de la station de destination est précisée par le passager, sur un clavier où apparaissent très clairement les stations desservies par le véhicule arrivant, et ces destinations sont transmises au programmateur avec le nombre de passagers entrant dans le sas.The load control, according to the invention, allows a complete automation of the installation, in particular by the programmer 29. If before the arrival of a vehicle in a station it has not been designated by any passenger as a destination , and that no passengers have been registered with the access controller of said station, the programmer can modify the vehicle programming and make it cross the station without stopping.
The designation of the destination station is specified by the passenger, on a keyboard where the stations served by the arriving vehicle are very clearly indicated, and these destinations are transmitted to the programmer with the number of passengers entering the airlock.
