The research made on alpine transport systems has proven to be extremely useful for solving urban transportation problems.
Due to the high density of the constructions, an aerial urban transport system generally requires complex technical installations and elaborate mechanical equipment.
Our Company regularly prepares feasibility studies and participates to funicular and mechanised ramp projects.
Structure
Integration in the environment and adaptation to the existing streets and constructions are the main challenges when planning an urban transport system.
