“…Of particular importance for scientific research of the problem of introducing passenger aerial ropeways into the transport infrastructure of large cities and territories and its implementation for heterogeneous terrain is the task of rational design of transport lines [11]. Currently, there is sufficient experience in the design and construction of urban aerial ropeways in many countries [13][14][15]. Cited in a number of works, for example, [7,16,17], the data on the required amount of financial resources indicate that the construction of ropeways in real urban conditions is a financially costly undertaking.…”

“…mountains, valleys, bodies of water) do not permit the implementation of conventional public transportation. Urban ropeway systems are a technology that grows significantly to serve the travel patterns of geographically constrained areas in which conventional transit service was deemed very difficult or infeasible to imple Q3 ment (Alshalalfah et al, 2014). Ropeways play an irreplaceable role in many areas as a special mean transport for a long time.…”

“… Other issues with RTSs include safety in the case of power failure. However, this problem can be addressed by a backup diesel engine [9,24]. Additionally, some disadvantages of RTSs include extensive controls and maintenance and the lack of an air conditioning system in the cabins [6].…”

“…Nevertheless, one study has pointed out that RTSs are being continuously improved and developed to meet the new requirements for today's conveniences, such as air conditioning, entertainment systems, and Wi-Fi in the cabins [10].  Privacy is an issue associated with RTSs, as cabins fly over private properties, causing population rejection and lowering property values [9,24]. The socio-economic benefits of RTSs, coming from the conjunction of RTSs with new utilities, spaces, and services, is represented in reducing travel times to jobs; increasing investment; lowering crime rates; and supporting community involvement and civic pride, contribute to increasing the property values in poor areas.…”
