Abstract

Cable ropeway Optimal support geometry Numerical optimization Unwanted vehicle oscillations
In this work we discuss the problem of finding an optimal shape of a cable ropeway support head using optimization techniques. We define a cost function and relevant constraints with the goal to minimize the oscillations of the vehicle when it crosses the support, valid for both driving directions. Our findings reveal potential for practical use by extending Computer Aided Engineering tools by taking this optimization procedure into account.
