tourist ropeways developing?<\/h3>\n<p>The content of the session began with the outgoing OITAF President <strong>J\u00f6rg Schr\u00f6ttner<\/strong> (Austria). He spoke about the significance of the International Organization for Transportation by Rope, which is currently celebrating its 65th anniversary. Previously, he discussed his key focus areas in the Cable Car Radio podcast of the trade magazine SI Urban.<\/p>\n<h4>What can urban ropeways achieve?<\/h4>\n<p>Following Schr\u00f6ttner,<strong> Klaus Erharter<\/strong> (Italy), Technical Director of the ropeway manufacturer LEITNER, and <strong>Paul Abed<\/strong> (Mexico), Director of the urban ropeway operator Mexitelefericos S.A. de C.V., discussed the transport capacities of ropeways in public transit.<\/p>\n<p>Using the example of the Ecatepec Linea Verde ropeway, the two demonstrated that a ropeway designed for a capacity of 3,000 persons per hour per direction can transport between 36,000 and 40,000 people per day and 12 to 15 million people per year.<\/p>\n<p>The full capacity is only needed during two peak times; otherwise, the speed can be reduced to save emissions. If the system runs at five meters per second instead of six, CO2 emissions can be reduced by 15 to 20 percent!<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-5 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

He particularly focused on the lifespan of alpine and urban ropeway ropes and how to calculate these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Oberdorfer<\/strong> (Austria) from the ropeway manufacturer DOPPELMAYR advocated for digital employee training. According to him, the safe operation of ropeways often faces significant challenges due to frequent personnel turnover and the need for ongoing skill enhancement. Digital employee training can address these issues, positively impacting time, costs, and team effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, Oberdorfer&#8217;s colleague <strong>Franziska Junginger<\/strong> (Austria) outlined a long-term successful strategy for managing customer assets related to the operation and maintenance of a ropeway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marco Zgraggen<\/strong> (Switzerland) from SISAG AG then discussed the digitization of ropeways, Industry 4.0, and the Internet of Things (IoT). He explored the benefits of IoT, such as better decision-making, increased availability, and knowledge retention, while also highlighting risks such as cybercrime, data breaches, data transparency to third parties, and system dependencies.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-34 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

He specifically addressed the transportation of physically impaired individuals, a demographic that is increasing. Technology, standards, and operations of ropeways must keep pace with this development.<\/p>\n<p>With 20 years, 135,000 hours, and 260 million transported passengers, the Metrocable Line K in Medell\u00edn (Colombia) has seen significant operation. Ropeway manager<strong> Jorge Ramos<\/strong> (Colombia) detailed how maintenance of such a system remains sustainable over the years, emphasizing the role of ongoing staff education (training, laboratories, support). He also discussed the maintenance requirements for cabins.<\/p>\n<p>Closing the first day of the congress was <strong>Dominik Berndt<\/strong> (Germany), Managing Director and initiator of the Cable Car World congress fair for urban ropeways.
