Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1997706A1] A cable transportation system (1) having a cable (2) moved along a first path (P1); a number of transportation units (3) connectable selectively to the cable (2); a turnaround station (4) having a transportation device (5), which is equipped with positively-driven rollers (16) extending along a second path (P2) at the turnaround station (4) to move the transportation units (3) detached from the cable (2), and has a first portion (10; 13) for accelerating or decelerating the transportation units (3), and a second portion (11; 12) adjacent to the first portion (10; 13) and driven by the first portion (10; 13) via a mechanical drive (15) having a velocity ratio selectively variable as a function of a signal emitted by a control device (6) for monitoring the distance between the transportation units (3).
