- Figure 2 illustrates in particular a side view of such a second segment 120 notably presenting a steeply inclined portion, typically greater than 15%. Such an inclination is possible thanks to the characteristic according to which the traction cable 11 simultaneously tows and carries the vehicles 30 along this second segment 120.
- the second traffic lane 102 does not include a second segment 120. It is understood that the second traffic lane 102 may include one or more second (s) segment (s) similar (s) ) to the first traffic lane 101 according to the topography of the environment where the transport facility 100 is located. In this case the characteristics of the second segment are the same.

- these carrying wheels 32 are passive when the vehicle 30 travels along the second segments 120, in particular here the first traffic lane 101, because on these second segments the vehicle 30 is moved and carried entirely by the carrying cable 11
- the support wheels 32 therefore do not need to be motorized.
- the carrying wheels 32 are mounted free in rotation on two pairs of lateral ends of the carriage 40.

- Certain pylons 60 located in particular at the level of a second segment 120 of the first taxiway 101 only support these support pulleys 63 (see FIG. 5 ([Fig.5])).
- Some other pylons 60 also support at least one support frame 70 of the rolling track 111, 211 of the first segments 110, 210 of the first and second traffic lanes 101, 102.
- the frame 70 has a " C” open to the ground.
- the frame 70 has a hollow shape inside which the carriage 40 is placed and open on the lower side, downwards with respect to the reference vertical orientation Z.
- the lower opening of the frame 70 is bordered on either side by the two rails 111', 211' forming the supporting structure and carrying the associated track 111, 211.
- the guide means 140, and in particular, each group of vertical 141 and horizontal 142 guide means are mounted integral with this frame 70. to the support pulleys 63 on the first segments 110, 210.
- the frame 70 for suspension and support of the track 111, 211 also supports the motorized drive wheels 45 ensuring the movement of the cars 30 in the station 150 but also at the level of the transition zones 103.
- the drive rollers 45 are formed by tires making it possible to offer adequate grip to allow the slowing down or acceleration of the speed of the vehicles 30 during the disengagement and engagement of the disengaging means 33 but also to maintain as much as possible the linear nominal speed when passing the transition zones 103, in particular the transition tracks 311 (see FIG. 3 ([Fig.3])).
- a contactor 47 secured to the carriage 45 maintains electrical contact with an electrical rail secured to the frame 70 and housed in its interior space. In this way, it is possible to supply electrical energy to the electrical equipment of the vehicle 30.
- Figure 4 illustrates a schematic view and according to an A-A section of the transport installation 100 of Figure 1, namely taken at a boarding station 150 and/or unloading, the disengageable clamp 34 being in a disengaged position.

- second segments 120 equip the transport installation 100 on the route of the vehicles 30 along which the vehicles 30 fully carried, and driven at the nominal linear speed, by the associated traction cable 11, 21.
- Figure 8 illustrates a schematic view of another embodiment of a transport installation 100 which essentially differs from the embodiment rewritten above in that it comprises a single single-cable loop, namely a single first traction cable 11.
- the motor station comprising the drive means 12 is located in a lateral space, here on the inside, of the closed loop 10 of the first traction cable 11, and not in an intersection zone between two closed loops of cables 11, 21.
- the motor station comprising the drive means 12 could also be located on the outside of the closed loop 10, this depending in particular on the geometry of the carriage 40 and that of the attachment means 31, but possibly also depending on the topography of the external environment.
- transfer means comparable to those of the embarkation and/or disembarkation stations 150 or to those used in the transition zone 103 must be provided. In this case two cases can be considered.
- the engine is located in a station 150 boarding and / or disembarkation, said station 150 boarding and / or disembarkation is therefore also the driving station: in such a configuration, the transfer means comprising the drive rollers 45 are configured to allow the slowing down at the entrance to the station and the acceleration at the exit from the station of the speed of the vehicles 30 and comprising the hooking means 31 including the disengageable clamp 34 to unhook then removably hook the vehicle 30 to the traction cable 11 as the drive means 12 pass.
- the drive roller tires 45 slow the vehicle 30 to a disembarkation-embarkation speed, for example 0.25m/s, then the drive roller tires 45 then accelerate the vehicle 30 to the nominal linear speed of the first traction cable 11 for the clutch by the disengaging means 33.
- the disengaging means 33 are configured so as to release the vehicle 30 from the first traction cable 11 to which it is attached upstream of the drive means 12, in particular from the drive pulley PI then to hook the vehicle 30 to the same first traction cable 11, downstream of the drive means 12, in particular of the driving pulley PI.
- the transfer means are therefore comparable to those used at an embarkation and/or disembarkation station 150, in the previous embodiment.
- the vehicles are thus guided along a transfer track similar to the transition tracks 311 except that the disengagement means 33 are configured so as to release the vehicle 30 from the first traction cable 11 to which it is attached upstream of the means drive 12, in particular of the drive pulley PI then to hook the vehicle 30 to the same first traction cable 11, downstream of the drive means 12, in particular of the drive pulley PI.
