Abstract

The ropeway transportation system plays a major role in mountain resorts. In order to provide a sustainable development of the entire mountain resort system, the real capacity of the ropeway transportation system was set. The real capacity of the ropeway transportation system is one of the indicators of the development harmonisation level of single system elements. The research into this field was carried out at the Road Traffic Centre of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Maribor. The paper deals with the basic points of the topic and the methods used. The know-how transfer of experiences into the Slovenian environment is presented together with the obtained results. V sistemu gorskih športno turističnih centrov ima izjemno pomembno vlogo žičniški prometni podsistem. Zanj je značilna izjemna prepletenost medsebojnih vplivov posameznih elementov sistema. S ciljem zagotavljanja trajnostno usklajenega razvoja celotnega sistema gorsko turističnih centrov je bila v okviru raziskav s tega področja v Centru za ceste in cestni promet na Oddelku za promet, Fakultete za gradbeništvo Univerze v Mariboru določena realna kapaciteta žičniškega prometnega sistema. Izkazalo se je, da je izjemno uporabna kot pokazatelj stopnje usklajenosti razvoja posameznih elementov obravnavanega sistema. V članku so prikazana temeljna izhodišča, metoda in rezultati raziskovanja tega področja ter rezultati prenosa novih znanj v slovensko okolje.

Abstract

The paper studies the problem of constructing cableways with advanced technology and their influence on the operation and development of cableway companies from several aspects. Modern cableways with detachable grips enable faster carriage of passengers. They have the possibility of transporting more passengers over the same distances. Recently, this trend of introducing modern cableways has been particularly present in chairlifts which carry skiers. Such chairlifts with detachable grips allow transport of skiers over greater distances and therefore must have respective ski slopes covering wider areas which in turn affects the expansion of the mountain tourist centres. The chairlifts with detachable grips require more knowledge and personnel to manage and maintain them, as well as more investment capital. Članak proučava problem izgradnje žičara s modernom tehnikom i njihov utjecaj na rad i razvoj žičarskih poduzeća s više gledišta. Moderne žičare s tehnikom priklopnih spojki omogućavaju brži prijevoz putnika. One imaju mogućnost da na jednakim relacijama prevoze više putnika. U posljednje je vrijeme ovaj trend uvođenja modernih žičara naročito prisutan kod sjedežnica koje služe za prijevoz skijaša. Ovakve sjedežnice s priklopnim spojkama omogućavaju prijevoz skijaša na većim daljinama pa zbog toga moraju imati pripadajuće skijaške pruge veće površine, što ima utjecaj na širenje gorskih turističkih centara. Sjedežnice s priklopnim spojkama zahtijevaju više znanja i osoblja za upravljanje i održavanje i isto tako više uloženog kapitala.
