[0002] The ropeway is a kind of transportation system for transporting people or goods by steel cable as track, which is erected on the support structure. Its core components include steel cable (load bearing cable / traction cable), driving and tensioning device, support structure (support / pressure cable wheel set), carrying tool (suspension cabin / chair / basket) and electrical system. The ropeway can be divided into fixed rope type (speed about 1 meter / second), off-hanging rope type (speed 5-6 meters / second) and reciprocating type (speed up to 8 meters / second, passenger capacity hundreds of people) according to the operation mode. The ropeway safety protection mainly involves three aspects of equipment maintenance, passenger behavior specification and emergency management, and real-time monitoring of the lateral swing of the suspension cabin is the core guarantee for the safe operation of the ropeway. The large swing will increase the risk of collision between the suspension cabin and the support or platform, and also cause panic among passengers. However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: 1. There is no real-time monitoring means for the lateral swing of the suspension cabin, and the collision risk is only judged by manual observation or fixed limiting device, with a response delay of 5-10 seconds; 2. The false alarm rate of the traditional video monitoring system is as high as 40% in rainy, snowy and foggy weather, and the distance parameter cannot be quantitatively detected; 3. The ultrasonic sensor is easily disturbed in rainy and snowy weather, the millimeter wave radar has high cost, the infrared grating cannot penetrate obstacles, and the multi-sensor data is processed independently without forming collaborative optimization, which is difficult to cope with local wind speed mutation in complex terrain.
