Urs Amiet: Swiss federal bureau of transport (PDF 2,5 MB) - Latest findings on the possibilities and limitations of visual rope inspection – paper
For the first time, findings and ratios are presented for the factors influencing the results of visual rope inspections. A new evaluation system developed makes it possible to give a quantitative assessment of those risk factors. (PDF 3,1 MB) - Performance analysis of open magneto-inductive detectors – ppt

Fredy von Moos: Garaventa AG (CH) (PDF 2,5 MB) - Using fiber ropes in ropeway installation – paper
Modern high-strength fiber ropes can offer major advantages during the installation of ropeways in rough terrain: they can be directly transported by helicopter and permit the direct mounting of the heavy main rope. But how can this be done safely when there are hardly any experiences available for this application? The contribution presents the path from the first idea and accompanying laboratory tests to the implementation of an innovative hoist. (PDF 1,4 MB)
