Vehicle with shock absorption for transporting passengers on a variable slope track and installation comprising said vehicle

An installation for transporting people comprising a lower station, an upper station, a sloping track connecting the lower station and the upper station, at least one traction cable, at least one stationary device for driving the traction cable, and at least one vehicle for transporting people, the vehicle comprising a carriage operational to run on the sloping track while being drawn by the traction cable, a cabin support carried by the carriage, an onboard braking device and a shock absorber linked to the onboard braking device and to the cabin support, and suitable for transforming kinetic energy of the cabin support into heat when the cabin support moves relative to the onboard braking device from an operational position along a shock absorption trajectory in a shock absorption direction, wherein the onboard braking device is rigidly connected to the carriage and the vehicle also comprises a slide link between the cabin support and the carriage to guide a movement of the cabin support relative to the carriage along the shock absorption trajectory.
