Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a transport system comprising vehicles rolling on rails and drawn by cable between stations by means of disengageable clamps, in which transport system each vehicle (20) comprises at least one progressive-engagement clamp (220, 230) with direct friction on an associated cable, and the accelerator/decelerator means (30, 40) are driven by variable-speed means controlled so as to ensure the comfort of passengers during the acceleration/deceleration phases of the vehicles (20) and to limit the speed difference between a vehicle (20) and the associated cable (10, 80) during engagement on the latter by means of the said progressive-engagement clamp (220, 230). <IMAGE>
