Doppelmayr AURO-CLD robotic chairlift for ski resorts approved

Published: Jan 24, 2024

1 Benefits of AURO-CLD:

Doppelmayr's AURO-CLD system increases safety and reduces manpower

In 2020 Doppelmayr introduced b (Autonomous Ropeway Operation) in the gondola lifts. This is a system that uses sensors and cameras to detect any problems with access to the lift and, if necessary, stops the lift. Up to now, this has been the sole task of the operator, who has to be constantly on the lookout. Now the Austrian company has succeeded in obtaining approval for this system on chairlifts as well.

Automating everything in a gondola lift, where practically the only key point is the access, was "relatively" simple. Previously, some changes had to be made, such as the interior ski rack , and cabins with larger doors had to be designed. This way, the skier or snowboarder enters directly with his or her equipment, and once inside it is complicated for anything else to happen, unless the passenger or passengers make any unusual movements.

But a chairlift has more complicated points. Just getting on is a problem for many skiers and snowboarders. In the course of a day's skiing, a chairlift ends up helping several people get off the ground. There have even been occasions (very rare, fortunately) when a passenger has fallen halfway down.

This will continue to be the case for the time being. What Doppelmayr has automated is the exit terminal of the chairlift. There, falls are no longer so frequent, so they thought they could eliminate the ski lift up there, and replace it with a system of sensors and cameras controlled by an employee in the cabin below, or even in a room in an office building. Doppelmayr claims that security is increased, and costs are reduced by 35%.

The AURO system was previously tested in two ski lifts, one in Wildhaus (St. Gallen, Switzerland) and the other in the Silvretta Montafon ski resort (Vorarlberg, Austria).

How does it work? AURO-CLD implements AI-assisted image processing developed by Mantis Ropeway Technologies. With the help of its software, it can analyze and evaluate location, image and video data in real time and trigger automatic responses.

The system detects dangerous situations in the unloading area of the upper station within a few hundredths of a second and decides autonomously, depending on the situation, whether the chairlift can continue to operate, whether it should slow down or stop. As with AURO for gondolas, troubleshooting can be performed by a person from the Cable Car Operations Center (ROC) located in the lower station or in a separate building in the ski resort offices.

Benefits of AURO-CLD:

-Up to 35% lower personnel costs.
-Reduces the effects of staff shortages
-Increased safety due to quick reaction to dangerous situations.
-Excellent overview due to multiple camera viewing angles.
-Uninterrupted surveillance because the system never tires.
-AURO-CLD can be installed on many existing chairlifts.

The AURO-CLD system from Doppelmayr has already been tested on two chairlifts.
