Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1884432A1] The method involves modulating control signals (S5, S6, S10, S11) of braking units (16, 16`) via a modulating circuit (55) that is integrated to a control unit (14) to control cable speed based on a preset deceleration setpoint curve (C1) activated by a braking command (OF). The signals (S5, S6) are modulated till stopping a cable. The signals (S10, S11) are modulated via a modulating circuit (56) integrated to the unit (14) to control the speed based on a preset deceleration setpoint curve (C2), where an instantaneous value of the curve (C2) is more than the curve (C1) at each instant. An independent claim is also included for a braking system of a cable transport installation comprising a speed sensor.
