Abstract
The invention relates to a control device of a cable transport facility, comprising a controller capable of organizing an embarking period of a nominal duration (Tn_max) for vehicles at a station. This embarking period (Tn_max) ends with a prohibition of access to the vehicle. The controller comprises an input for receiving at least one variable representative of a vehicle occupancy. The controller is arranged to react upon receipt of such a variable during the embarking period (Tn_max) by comparing it to a threshold value and by triggering the prohibition of access to the vehicle in an anticipated manner and before the end of the embarking period (Tn_max) as a function of the result of the comparison between said variable and the threshold value.
