StationsStationenStazioniMany old railway stations are still prime models forfunctional cableway station architecture. They signal thepresence of a means of transportation to the outside world.Passengers intuitively find the correct entrance. As soon asthey come into the station, they have a free view of the trainsand see the ticket counter and access to the tracks. Secondaryfacilities such as restrooms, waiting rooms, and shopsare either directly visible or else can be found with the help ofsigns. General maps and tourist information are displayed inpositions that are easily visible. While waiting in line, passengersare able to maintain an overview there by estimatingwhen their turn will come.The functionality of old railway stations can also betransferred to modern cableway stations. In so doing,however, the technical aspects must also be considered. Acableway has no motor in the vehicle, no service brake, andwith small systems, not even a control panel. All of this ishoused in the station building, with the precise positioningbeing determined by architects along with the cablewaymanufacturer.At least two stations are necessary (with the possibilityof as many intermediate stations as desired), of which onehouses the drive and braking devices and the other normallyaccommodates a tensioning device that ensures the cablesare at a constant tension. With systems in which the cabinsor cars are detached from the cable in the station, a supportstructure is required for moving them while inside the station.A spur section holds the vehicles that are not immediatelyneeded, making their care and maintenance easier.Moreover, garaging of unused vehicles reduces the system’senergy consumption.Viele alte Zugbahnhöfe sind heute noch Musterbeispiele fürfunktionale Stationsarchitektur. Nach außen hin signalisierensie die Präsenz eines Verkehrsmittels. Der Fahrgastfindet intuitiv den richtigen Eingang; sobald er die Stationbetritt, hat er freien Blick auf die Züge, er sieht die Fahrkartenschalter,den Zugang zu den Geleisen. Sekundäre Einrichtungenwie WC, Wartesaal oder Geschäfte sind entwederdirekt sichtbar oder mit Hilfe einer Beschilderung zu finden.Übersichtskarten und touristische Informationen sind an gutsichtbarer Stelle angebracht. In einer Warteschlange behältder Fahrgast den Überblick, um abschätzen zu können, wanner an die Reihe kommt.Die Funktionalität der alten Zugbahnhöfe kann auch aufdie moderne Seilbahnstation übertragen werden. Bei dieserist allerdings auch das technische Innenleben zu berücksichtigen.Anders als bei einem Bus oder einer Straßenbahn hateine Seilbahn im Fahrzeug keinen Motor, keine Betriebsbremse,bei kleinen Bahnen nicht einmal eine Steuerungseinrichtung.All dies ist im Stationsgebäude untergebracht.Die genaue Platzierung wird dabei vom Architekten gemeinsammit dem Seilbahnhersteller festgelegt.Es braucht mindestens zwei Stationen (beliebig vieleZwischenstationen sind möglich), von denen die eine dieAntriebs- und Bremseinrichtung, die andere normalerweiseeine Spannvorrichtung beherbergt, welche dafür sorgt, dassdie Seile straff gespannt sind. Bei Systemen, deren Kabinenoder Wagen in der Station vom Seil abgekuppelt werden,braucht es eine Stationsfördereinrichtung zum stationsinternenTransport der Kabinen oder Wagen. Ein Abstellbahnhofnimmt die gerade nicht benötigten Kabinen oder Wagen aufund erleichtert deren Pflege und Wartung. Zudem senkengaragierte Fahrzeuge den Energieverbrauch des Systems.Molte delle antiche stazioni ferroviarie sono ancor oggi unperfetto modello di architettura funzionale. Dall’esternorisulta immediatamente chiara la loro funzione: il viaggiatoretrova intuitivamente il giusto ingresso e non appena mettepiede nella stazione il suo sguardo può spaziare sui treni,sulla biglietteria, sull’accesso ai binari. Servizi secondari,quali i bagni, la sala d’aspetto o i negozi sono o direttamentevisibili o facilmente individuabili grazie a cartelli. Le cartesinottiche e le informazioni per i turisti sono posizionate inluoghi ben visibili. Quando è in fila, il viaggiatore mantieneuna visione d’insieme, che gli permette di calcolare quandoarriverà il suo turno.La stessa funzionalità delle vecchie stazioni ferroviariepuò essere trasferita anche alle moderne stazioni degliimpianti a fune, nelle quali è però anche da considerare lapresenza di una componente tecnologica. A differenza ditram o autobus, un impianto a fune non dispone né di unmotore né di freni all’interno del veicolo; addirittura, nel casodi piccoli impianti, nemmeno di un dispositivo di comando.Tutto ciò si trova nell’edificio della stazione. La posizioneprecisa viene generalmente concordata dagli architetti con icostruttori dell’impianto funiviario.Sono sempre necessarie almeno due stazioni (a cui sipossono aggiungere innumerevoli stazioni intermedie),che alloggiano la prima il motore e il sistema frenante, ela seconda, normalmente, un dispositivo di tensione, cheassicura che la fune sia sempre ben tesa. Negli impianti concabine o vagoni provvisti di un dispositivo di ammorsamentoautomatico alla fune, serve un convogliatore per movimentareinternamente alle stazioni le cabine o i vagoni. Un magazzinoaccoglie le cabine o i vagoni al momento inutilizzatie ne facilita le attività di pulizia e manutenzione. I veicoliimmagazzinati, non essendo usati, contribuiscono inoltre aridurre i consumi.Stations of a MiniMetro (Perugia) and a monocable arealropeway (Medellín route L)42Stationen einer MiniMetro (Perugia) und einer Einseilumlaufbahn(Medellín Linie L)Stazioni di una MiniMetro (Perugia) e di un impianto monofune(Medellin Linea L)▸
