Aerial ropeway systems have been operated in touristic spots e.g., over lakes, rivers, and hilly lands in several countries. Passengers can enjoy a view from the above and experience a stress-free and reliable trip. Furthermore, those systems can be exploited as a public transportation in urbanized and populated regions. The objective of this article is to investigate the viability of implementing a gondola line flying over Doha Bay in Qatar as a tourist attraction from the marketing, economic, and environmental point of view. In this study, the associated costs (capital, maintenance, and operating) of implementing a monocable detachable gondola technology(MDG) are estimatedDraft using international best practices in the world. The economic analysis outcome demonstrates that the revenues generated from the fares could counterweigh the required capital investment as well as operating and maintenance costs and hence the proposed gondola could be economically attractive for investors.

    IEEE Lesson Plan: C hair Lift Challenge Explore other TryEngineering lessons at www.tryengineering.org Lesson Focus Lesson focuses on unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain. Students work in teams to design a "chair lift" out of everyday items that can transport a ping pong ball in a chair of their own design from the bottom of a "valley" to the top of a "mountain" along a clothes line or wire without the ball falling out. Students design their chairlift and chair on paper, execute their design, test it, reflect on the challenge, and share their experiences with the class. Lesson Synopsis The "Chair Lift Challenge" explores how engineers develop transportation systems to operate in different and sometimes challenging environments. Students work in teams to design a chair lift made out of everyday materials that can carry a ping pong ball up a rope line and back down in a controlled manner so that the ball does not fall out of a chair the team has also designed. They sketch their plans, consider material selection, build their system, test it, reflect on the challenge, and present their experiences to their class. A g e L e v e l s 8-18.

  • Ropeways for Urban and Materials Transport

    Ropeways for Urban and Materials Transport

    Ropeways for Urban and Materials Transport Eustace Mwarania Abstract:Ropeways also known as cable cars have traditionally been deployed to facilitate tourism in scenic locations, difficult to access by conventional means. Recent innovations involving faster speeds and larger cabins are transforming ropeways into the realm of urban environment. Ropeways are also providing creative materials transport solutions. This paper will begin by considering the use of ropeway systems to alleviate congested segments of our cities by providing an additional aerial transit mode. Examples will be given from cities that have already realized urban ropeways and an overview of such projects under development in Kenya. This will then be followed by discussion of ropeways solutions in mining and port operations. 1. Introduction A ropeway is a type of aerial lift which is supported and propelled by cables from above. It consists of a loop of steel cable that is strung between stations, over intermediate supporting towers. The cable is driven by a bull wheel in one terminal, which is typically connected to an engine or electric motor. The ropeway is the most typical and traditional mountain transportation but recently it has started being taken into serious consideration for use in urban transport and in amusement parks, to access panoramic viewing points and in general in all locations which are difficult to reach[1,2]. In addition, the ropeways are increasingly being applied to solve material transport problems[3]. This paper considers the use of ropeway systems in urban and materials transport. In part 2 ropeway technology is introduced. Part 3 explains the urban applications including the benefits and functions that ropeways perform.Part 4 explains the use of ropeways for materials transport and highlights potential applications in mining and cargo movement in ports.

    White Paper: Urban Application of Aerial Cableway Technology

    WHITE PAPER: URBAN APPLICATION OF AERIAL CABLEWAY TECHNOLOGY WSP USA | June 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WSP USA is pleased to present the following white paper that summarizes the benefits and items for consideration of aerial cableway technology; outlines the project development process; and addresses advantages, costs and challenges associated with developing aerial cableway systems in urban environments. Urban applications of aerial cableway technology have been successfully integrated into transit networks in numerous cities around the globe, including the Portland Aerial Tram (Portland, Oregon) and Roosevelt Island Tram (New York, NY). Interest in aerial cableway technology has grown considerably in the United States in recent years, and initial feasibility studies have been completed in several U.S. cities, including San Diego, CA; Washington DC; and Brooklyn, NY. WSP is evaluating aerial cableway technology as an innovative first- and last-mile connection to regional transit in urban areas. Aerial cableway technology offers multiple benefits, including: relatively lower costs compared to other transportation modes, the ability to overcome significant changes in topography and other obstacles in natural and man-made environments, the ability to bypass congested roadways and transportation corridors, the ability to move high volumes of passengers: the equivalent of one city bus every minute, a streamlined design that fits into the urban environment, the potential to integrate transit-oriented development (TOD) near stations, and the ability to provide service between residential areas and key destinations. Many of these benefits have been realized in existing systems in La Paz, Bolivia, and Medellin, Colombia. Specifically, Medellin’s Line K transports more than 40,000 passengers per day between residential areas and the city center, reducing some commute times from more than an hour to approximately 10 minutes.

  • Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts

    Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts

    Ropeway People Movers for Ski Resorts by Andrew S. Jakes* Abstract Las Vegas, Reno, Sun City, Foxwoods, Tunica, Broad Beach, and several other international mega-resorts, have discovered that People Movers (Automated Guideway Transit) improve their image and subsequently attract new customers. In addition to presenting the rope-propelled People Mover technologies, this paper reviews how specific installations have solved visitor circulation needs in many hotel resort complexes in Las Vegas and elsewhere. This approach can be duplicated to many ski resorts worldwide since the level of ridership in Las Vegas frequently exceeds levels typically found on ski resort shuttle bus systems worldwide. We particularly focus on existing, proven technologies and specific installations, including ropeway Horizontal Elevators (Mandalay Bay, Mirage, Primadonna, and Circus-Circus Automated People Mover installations). People Mover systems represent major changes and advances in equipment, facilities, operations, and services in comparison with conventional rail, bus, taxi, and other street modes. System performance and capacities can be tailored to match expected loads and a broad range of performance and operational requirements. Suppliers usually claim, with justification, that they can adapt their product to buyer's specific needs. Vehicle size can be expanded or reduced. Seats can be added or removed from vehicles. Various grades and curves can be accommodated by altering guideway design and speeds. Riding the circulation People Mover system can be as convenient, safe and comfortable as riding a modern elevator. Stations can be sufficiently numerous to provide development-wide access. Passengers experience little or no waiting for vehicles. The operation can be environmentally friendly with no emissions, very little noise and minimum visual impacts.
