Research into cable cars as an urban means of transport

05 Feb.,2024

 

In the Netherlands, for example, more and more cities are looking to the sky to improve the flow of traffic. In Roosendaal there are plans to build a cableway between the Designer Outlet Roosendaal mall and the city center, which promises to attract more visitors and alleviate pressure on the existing infrastructure between the two areas. In addition, following on from Floriade 2012 in Venlo, a cableway is also being used to manage visitor and logistic flows at Floriade 2022 in Almere. The city of Rotterdam is currently conducting studies on the subject, and the municipality of Amsterdam has already signed a declaration of intent to further elaborate and develop a cableway. Arcadis was involved in the research relating to all of these initiatives and participated in the design and development of the cableway in Venlo.  

The development stage for a project such as this begins with a feasibility study, in which experts look at the usefulness and need, user potential, type of cableway, technical applications, cost, urban planning and possible constraints. If this assessment is positive, a further study is then carried out, following which the technical feasibility is assessed in detail together with an accredited cableway builder.
