Method for monitoring a cableway

A cableway comprising:

• a number of cableway supports;
• a number of cableway vehicles;
• a hoisting cable, wherein the cableway vehicles, during operation of the cableway, are movable on the hoisting cable in a conveying direction along the number of cableway supports;
• a number of sensors on at least one of the cableway that are configured to detect a movement of the cableway support along the conveying direction as a longitudinal measurement value and to detect at least a movement of the cableway support transverse to the conveying direction as a transverse measurement value,
• wherein the number of sensors are further configured to simultaneously detect the longitudinal measurement value and the transverse measurement value at at least one point in time during operation or when the cableway is stationary,
• an evaluation unit configured to receive and process the simultaneously detected longitudinal measurement value and transverse measurement value at the at least one point in time from the number of sensors, wherein the evaluation unit is further configured to establish a defined mathematical operation between the simultaneously detected longitudinal measurement value and transverse measurement value at the at least one point in time and to ascertain a result from the defined mathematical operation, and
• a control unit,
• wherein if a specified condition stored in the evaluation unit is met by the ascertained result, the evaluation unit is configured to signal a problem on the cableway to the control unit for monitoring the cableway, and
• wherein, depending upon the problem signaled by the evaluation unit, the control unit is configured to control the cableway.
