Abstract
A cable conveyance has devices for decoupling the passenger carriers from e cable at an upstream side of a station, a device for recoupling the carriers to the cable at a downstream side of the station and a path of the carriers through the station after the carriers have been decoupled from the cable. This path is formed by a roll in which the carriers are guided and includes decelerating and accelerating stretches in which respective driven rollers engage the carriers. At a control stretch the speed of the carriers can be adjusted relative to a normal speed in response to a sensor of the intercarrier interval to maintain a predetermined carrier spacing on recoupling of the carriers to the cable.
