Abstract

Modern technological advances in transport engineering and transport construction expand tools available to a transport planner: previously considered purely niche, “exotic” transit modes begin claiming to be full-fledged urban public transport varieties. One of those are aerial ropeways. The paper analyses international experience of this technology as a mass transit component used in urban environments. We suggest factors can influence decision making in favour of aerial cableways as a form of public transport. Within the proposed methodology, we identify pairs of adjacent districts where cableways could be sufficient as an element of an intermodal transit system.
