Cable car system with passenger carriers suspended from a suspension and traction cable guided around two deflection pulleys

A cable car system, comprising:

• a suspension and traction cable, passenger carriers suspended from said cable, a plurality of deflection pulleys about which said cable is deflected, a boarding area defining a boarding point at which passengers board said passenger carriers, a conveyor device disposed at said boarding area for conveying the passengers to said boarding point, an entrance gate disposed at said boarding area, and a central control unit connected to and controlling said entrance gate and said conveyor device;
• a signal transducer connected to said central control unit for sensing said passenger carriers passing by said signal transducer and for issuing an output signal;
• a speed transducer connected to said central control unit for detecting a travel speed of said cable and for issuing an output signal;
• a measuring instrument for detecting a distance traveled by a respective said passenger carrier after having tripped said signal transducer;
• said central control unit opening said entrance gate as a function of the output signals received from said signal transducer and from said measuring instrument.
