The potential of urban cable cars in towns
Municipalities in the Alpine region are often perceived as natural landscapes rather than urban areas, despite research from the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) indicating urban characteristics within the Alps. The researchers aim to change this perception, including through the implementation of urban cable cars.
Brno: Cable car from expo to campus
Public transportation in Pisarky, a district of the Czech city of Brno, is undergoing significant changes. In addition to a Park & Ride facility and a new tram loop, a cable car to the campus is planned.
Cash flow: Costs and benefits of urban cable cars
How much do cities have to invest to build and operate cable cars? And what benefits do they derive from it? Using the example of the planned cable car in the German city of Bonn, the renowned engineering firm Spiekermann has carried out such a cost-benefit analysis.
125 years of travel with wastewater
The landmark-protected, water-balanced funicular in Freiburg is one of the last of its kind. This year, the facility celebrates its 125th anniversary. Reason enough to take a closer look at the iconic symbol of the Swiss city.
Demand for cable cars
How many people really want to ride the urban cable car? Therefore, the Graz University of Technology (Austria) has developed a new approach to answer this question.
How supports can enrich public spaces
Vienna University of Technology examined the social and spatial potential of urban cable car supports. Three cable cars in Latin America were considered specifically in case studies. The results are newsworthy.
