- a mobile operator interface 30 e.g. a remote control, which communicates with control device 20 to control system 1, and which comprises controls for stopping pulley 4, starting pulley 4, reducing the speed of pulley 4, and controlling auxiliary functions.
- Mobile operator interface 30 comprises a radiofrequency transmitter block 31 and an infrared-ray transmitter block 32. More specifically, mobile operator interface 30 sends operation commands via radiofrequency signals, and enabling commands via infrared-ray signals.
- Radiofrequency transmitter block 31 sends radiofrequency signals by generating an electromagnetic wave in the radiofrequency band with a frequency of 6 MHz to 246 GHz, and preferably 433.005 MHz to 434.790 MHz.
- Infrared-ray transmitter block 32 generates an electromagnetic wave in the infrared band with a wavelength of 10 ⁇ m to 700 nm, and preferably 900 nm to 1000 nm.
- System 1 comprises a radiofrequency receiver 34 comprising an antenna 35 ( Figure 2 ), which, in a preferred, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, is located on top of operator booth 10.
- Radiofrequency receiver 34 communicates with control device 20 to supply the radiofrequency signals from radiofrequency transmitter block 31.
- Mobile operator interface 30 is designed to send the enabling command via the enabling signal transmitted by infrared-ray transmitter block 32.
- System 1 also comprises an infrared-ray receiver 36 preferably cable-connected to control device 20.
- Infrared-ray receiver 36 receives the infrared rays transmitted by infrared-ray transmitter block 32. Infrared-ray receiver 36 is located inside system 1, in such a position that its operating range defines an operating range 40 (shown by the dash line in Figure 1 ) in turn defining an area allowing the operator a clear view of the entire departure and arrival area 12.
- mobile operator interface 30 can only communicate with infrared-ray receiver 36 when mobile operator interface 30 is within operating range 40.
- infrared-ray transmitter block 32 and infrared-ray receiver 36 only communicate when they are in 'Visual contact', i.e. when there are no obstacles between infrared-ray transmitter block 32 and infrared-ray receiver 36. Consequently, when the operator is outside operating range 40, no enabling commands can be sent to control device 20 by infrared-ray transmitter block 32.
- Radiofrequency transmitter block 31 and radiofrequency receiver 34 have an operating range defining a further operating range 50 (shown by the long and short-dash line in Figure 1 ) comprising operating range 40.
- the further operating range 50 comprises at least the interior of the entire departure and arrival area 12.
- radiofrequency transmitter block 31 and radiofrequency receiver 34 are designed with a power, frequency, and antenna position to cover further operating range 50.

- mobile operator interface 30 is designed to send operating commands to: stop pulley 4, start pulley 4, reduce the speed of pulley 4, and perform auxiliary functions.
- Control device 20 is designed to determine location of mobile operator interface 30 within operating range 40. In actual use, control device 20 receives first operating commands and the enabling command from mobile operator interface 30. More specifically, control device 20 receives first operating commands via radiofrequency receiver 34, and the enabling command via infrared-ray receiver 36. In actual use, control device 20 receives a first operating command from radiofrequency receiver 34; determines simultaneous reception of the enabling command signal from infrared-ray receiver 36; acts on pulley 4 or other component parts of cable transportation system 1 according to the first operating command received, if the above condition is confirmed; and does not execute the first operating command received, if the above condition is not confirmed. In other words, control device 20 only executes first operating commands if the operator is within operating range 40, with a clear view of the entire departure and arrival area 12.
- the first operating commands comprise a command to start pulley 4, or a command to authorize start-up of pulley 4.
- control device may determine location of the mobile operator interface within the operating range by means of an RFID system, GPS system, radiofrequency signal triangulation, or other locating methods.
- Control device 20 is designed to receive a second operating command, and to execute the second operating command regardless of whether mobile operator interface 30 is within or outside operating range 40. More specifically, the second operating command is transmitted to radiofrequency receiver 34 by radiofrequency transmitter block 31 of mobile operator interface 30, and is executed by control device 20.
- the second operating command may comprise a command to stop the moving parts of the system, or to reduce the speed of pulley 4. The second operating commands therefore differ from the first by not requiring enabling signals to determine the location of the mobile operator interface.
- Control device 20 is also designed to stop moving parts of system 1 - pulley 4, cars 9, and all the other moving parts within system 1 - when mobile operator interface 30 is outside further operating range 50 comprising operating range 40.
- mobile operator interface 30 is designed to cyclically transmit a location signal indicating its location within further operating range 50. The location signal is transmitted by means of a radiofrequency signal from radiofrequency transmitter block 31 to radiofrequency receiver 34.
- Control device 20 cyclically determines reception of the location signal, and, in the event of no reception, shuts down the moving parts of system 1. In other words, if control device 20 fails to receive the location signal, this means mobile operator interface 30 is no longer within the further operating range, so control device 20 shuts down the moving parts of system 1.
