Patent Images
1. A method of monitoring a locking state of closed doors of a passenger transport cabin prior to leaving a departure station, comprising:
- sensing a state of a lock which locks the doors of the passenger transport cabin, when the doors are closed;
transmitting a signal from the cabin to the station which indicates information of the state of the lock; and
evaluating the information of the state of the lock and preventing departure of the passenger transport cabin when the doors are determined not to be locked, whereinthe sensing of the state of the lock senses the state of the lock which locks the doors of the passenger transport cabin which is a cableway cabin.

5. A system for monitoring a locking state of closed doors of a passenger transport cabin prior to leaving a departure station, comprising:
-
a locking mechanism which locks the doors of the passenger transport cabin, after the doors of the passenger transport cabin are closed; a sensor, attached to the passenger transport cabin, which determines a state of the locking mechanism; a first transmitter which transmits a signal from the cabin to the station which indicates information of the state of the locking mechanism; and an evaluating device to evaluate the information of the locking state and prevent departure of the passenger transport cabin when the evaluating device determines that the doors are not locked, wherein the passenger transport cabin is a cableway cabin. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
