“…At present, the aerial ropeway is considered as a promising alternative to the development of transport infrastructure in large cities and megacities [1,2], as well as in territorial clusters (for example, tourist or recreational) [3,4]. This is due to many significant social, technical and economic advantages of this elevated public transport over traditional types-above-ground (trolleybus, bus, tram) and underground (subway) [5,6].…”

Passenger ropeways are a promising alternative for the development of public transport infrastructure in large cities. However, the construction of ropeways has a rather high cost and requires taking into account a significant number of restrictions associated with the features of the existing urban development and the placement of urban infrastructure. The main objective of this research is to develop optimization models that minimize the total cost of modular intermediate towers of a discretely variable height and a rope system due to the optimal placement and selection of the height of these towers, taking into account the features of the surface topography and urban development. The proposed modular principle for the construction of intermediate towers also enables the cost of construction to be further reduced. As a specific example, the design of a ropeway in the city of Bryansk, which has a complex terrain, is considered. The developed models are conveniently used at the initial stage of the design of the ropeway to compare the cost of various options for the location of the ropeway route in order to reduce the risk of error when choosing the least expensive option. The calculation results can serve as a guide for a preliminary assessment of the number and height of intermediate towers, their installation locations on the ground and the characteristics of the cable system.

“…Aerial ropeways are widely used as continuous transport for organization of passenger and cargo carriage in many countries worldwide [1,2]. Passenger aerial ropeways are mostly used for rapid and convenient movement of people to the sports, tourist, ecological and health-improving facilities within nature areas with difficult terrain which are difficult to access [3,4]. Cargo ropeways are used in many sectors of economics for transportation of different cargos.…”

“…The research problem of passenger aerial ropeways not only includes the technical aspect. For example, [4] deals with the questions of social and economic impact of aerial ropeway construction on the development of adjacent areas; [23] addresses the issues of acquiring rights to the air space in urban environments for ropeways. To date, the economic aspects of the construction of ropeways have not been sufficiently discussed in previously published articles.…”

Aerial ropeway is an effective alternative to the conventional modes of land public transport in metropolitan areas and cities. Construction of passenger aerial ropeways in urban environment is a very costly enterprise in terms of engineering and economics, and requires significant financial resources. This article is aimed at the development of the design method of the passenger aerial ropeway, ensuring the reduction in its construction cost. For this purpose, the individual components of the construction cost are considered, and the approximate calculation dependencies are proposed. It is shown that the cost of the aerial ropeway is mainly influenced by the installation step, height of intermediate towers and carrying rope tension. The task of the conditional nonlinear optimization of the given parameters is formulated and solved in the research. This task ensures the minimum cost of the aerial ropeway. The optimization task is done by taking into account possible limitations on the ropeway laying in the severely urbanized environment (the terrain, urban infrastructure arrangement, altitude performance of the urban development, technical characteristics of the carrying rope, etc.). Implementing the solution findings of the given optimization task makes it possible to significantly reduce the construction cost of aerial ropeways in urban environment.
