Evacuation safety provision on urban passenger ropeways

Abstract

The personnel safeguards issues and the evacuation algorithm on the urban passenger ropeways are considered. The paper objective is to formulate the requirements for personnel to ensure safety during the evacuation of passengers with the use of the redundant systems. The innovative constant redundant system with parallel redundancy is described. The implementation of the required function by the object is provided by the remaining elements switchless in case of any element breakdown in the reserve group. Technical, technological and organizational risks for various cases of critical failures occurrence are considered. In the result, extra operations, professional knowledge and skills are formulated; besides, risks of the personal injury are assessed by expertise. Recommendations on the decision-making to reduce the injury risk for the personnel taking into account the risk parameters are offered.
