Hi Harald and Mirko,

Thanks for the information and resources. My first attempt will likely be
to model the cabins as a tramway.

Harald, the goal of the model is to compare the overall performance of the
cable car system to other more traditional modes (tram, bus, etc.) in the
same study area.

Best,

Griffin
