Aerial ropeway transport installation with several sections

Aerial ropeway transport installation, comprising:

• at least two sections and four stations, two of which are end stations and two of which are adjacent stations which form an intermediate station connecting the at least two sections in series, each section having an aerial ropeway extending between an end station and the intermediate station in a closed circuit, at least one motor driving a respective rope of each of said at least two sections continuously, cars or chairs which are coupled to the rope on the sections and detached from the rope in the stations, and transfer circuits fitted in the stations on which the cars or chairs detached from the rope run, each of said transfer circuits comprising a flowrate regulating section, fitted with flowrate regulating means to impose a regular frequency on the cars as they leave said section independently from their frequency on entering said section, the two sections being designed to operate selectively according to a first mode of operation, independently from one another, in which a number of the cars run in a closed circuit on one of the sections and the remainder of the cars run in a closed circuit on the other section, and according to a second mode of coupling in series in which the cars of one of the sections are transferred to the other section in the intermediate station, said installation also comprising a means of detecting the flowrate of the cars on one of the sections, a means of detecting the flowrate of the cars on the other section, an adjustment device actuated by said flowrate detection means and fitted with a unit displaying a preset stagger to generate an adjustment signal of one of the flowrate regulating means when a difference occurs between the stagger figure displayed and the stagger measured by said detection means, so as to achieve a continuous flow of the cars from one of the sections to the other without storing them in the station.
