Device for controlling the embarking in a cable transport facility

A cable transport facility of the type comprising vehicles and at least one station, the facility further comprising a controller capable of organizing an embarking period (Tn_max) of a nominal duration for the vehicles at said station, said embarking period (Tn_max) ending with access to the vehicle being prohibited, wherein the controller comprises an input for receiving at least one variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) representative of a vehicle occupancy, and in that the controller is arranged to react to the receipt of such a variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) during the embarking period (Tn_max) by comparing it with a threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr) and by triggering the prohibition on access to the vehicle in advance, before the end of the embarking period, as a function of the result of the comparison between said variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) and the threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr).

A method for controlling a cable transport facility, wherein an embarking period (Tn_max) of a nominal duration is organized for vehicles at a station, this embarking period (Tn_max) ending with access to the vehicle being prohibited, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) representative of a vehicle occupancy,
• reacting to the receipt of such a variable during the embarking period (Tn_max) by comparing the variable with a threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr) and by triggering the prohibition on access to the vehicle in advance, before the end of the embarking period (Tn_max), as a function of the result of the comparison between said variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) and the threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr).
