cable-propelled transit
The underlying principles of cable-propelled transit (CPT). These are systems of engine-less vehicles propelled by a steel cable.
Automated cable vehicle controllers operate systems and control boards keeping under control the operations of a varied array of modes of transport operated by cable. They can operate aerial cabins, telphers, funiculars, etc. They ensure continuous operations and intervene in the operations when unforeseen situations occur.
