Abstract

An aerial ropeway hazard sensing system including a radar sensing unit mounted at a position along a ropeway that generates radar data representative of predetermined ropeway conditions proximate the radar sensing unit, and a processor that analyzes data from the radar sensing unit to detect predetermined hazard conditions and to generate a hazard detection signal indicative thereof. A method of performing an aerial ropeway safety function comprises using radar to detect a hazard condition and generating a hazard detection signal in response thereto; generating a control signal in response to the hazard detection signal; and initiating a safety with the control signal.
