Traction calculation of a mobile ropeway based on self-propelled chassis

The computer program is designed to carry out the traction calculation of a rope system including a single carrying-traction rope, a single-span mobile pendulum-type ropeway formed on the basis of coupled self-propelled wheeled chassis with increased cross-country capability and load capacity. The calculation takes into account the possible forms of sagging of the carrying-traction rope under load from the weight of the transported cargo, the rope's own weight, wind impact on the cargo and dynamic forces for three modes of operation of the ropeway: steady motion mode with constant load speed, acceleration mode with positive acceleration of the cargo and braking mode with negative acceleration of the cargo. For these modes, the tension forces of the carrying-traction rope are calculated at characteristic points along the route of the mobile ropeway, as well as the forces in the rope branch running into the drive rope pulley and in the escaping rope branch, the necessary power for the operation of the rotation mechanism of the drive pulley.
