Bartholet – Fewer Downtimes thanks to optimal maintenance

Changing behavior – How can we persuade people to switch to public transport?
The most beautiful cable car, the best bus and the greatest tram can only ever be useful if they are also accepted by the people. But how can politics and transport experts persuade the general public to switch from the car to public transport? From the Salzburger Verkehrstage conference, here are a few ideas from the perspective of science, transport operators and ticket providers.
Mobility pricing – Modern financing for transport
Whether cable car, city bus or road: public transport and infrastructure have to be financed. Rather than stiff taxes, fees and ticketing models, mobility pricing can be a solution that is fit for the future, improving more than merely the financial position of the operators.
Update: Sri Lanka cable car
For some time now, Sri Lanka has been discussing the Nuwara-Eliya ropeway project and now the government has signed an agreement in favor of the ropeway project.
Cable oiler – Automatic lubrication for cable car cables
What is true for bicycle chains and roller bearings also applies to the heavily strained cables of urban and Alpine cable cars. Effective preservation protects the wire cable from corrosion, reduces internal friction and thus makes it more durable. With the automated cable oiler and the right oil, NK-A from ELASKON, this is possible even in ongoing operation. This is proven in the example of the “PisaMover” MiniMetro from LEITNER in Pisa.
Cable car service – On urban cable cars in particular, relubrication is essential

Environmentally sensitive Management – What is it and how can it help urban transport?
Mobility is changing and many different measures promise to put city-centre traffic on the right track. Whilst experts know that there cannot be one solution to all the problems, we need first to find our way through the jungle of options. One of these steps is explained briefly here.
The marketplace for urban cable cars
Cable cars are on the rise. More and more cities are incorporating the cable-drawn transport system into their transport planning. Yet, because the cable car is new to the urban sphere, there is still a lack of key interconnections. Specialist trade fair with integrated congress CABLE CAR WORLD hopes to tackle precisely this issue and to bring together a broad range of stakeholders and decision-makers from politics, administration, planning, science, economics and urban society in Essen, and so to achieve widespread knowledge sharing. On 7th and 8th February 2022 at Essen exhibition centre, it will therefore be all about the subject of the cable car.
