Description
Summary:The present work is aimed to assess the operating conditions effect for urban aerial ropeways with a commercial usage, based on measurements obtained from an arrangement of sensors that record the coupling assembly behavior between the detachable gondola pod and the track rope. The work pays particular attention to the effect caused by external conditions due to the wind loads joined up with other parasite external effects, through the measurement of the engage strains. The cableway gondola continuous cycle has mono-cable of simple ring type.
