DISCRETE MODEL SIMULATION OF A PASSENGER CABLE CAR OPERATION

Abstract

Passenger ropeways represent an original and attractive way of transporting passengers. They arc mainly deployed in mountainous conditions or urban agglomerations. In most cases, they are very closely linked to tourism. For their efficient operation and implementation of a wide range of analyses, various methods and approaches are used that differ from each other both in terms of results and input factors. Thanks to its options, the computer simulation method ranks among highly efficient tools. However, its use is often precluded by concerns about the complexity of modeling and the subsequent execution of simulation experiments. This paper presents a discrete simulation model of a real passenger ropeway with an effort to point out the fact that it is actually possible to create such model in addition to presenting a possible interpretation of the obtained results.
