Disclosed is a conveying system in the form of an overhead conveyor for persons, especially for amusement purposes, or for goods. Said conveyor system comprises a rail track (running rail system) and a conductor rail which runs parallel thereto. Several vehicles, each of which is composed of a crab and a gondola that is suspended thereupon, are located on the rail track. Each crab is provided with an electric motor which is supplied with power via the conductor rail as well as a device for controlling the motor. In order to ensure that the installation is safe to operate while providing a lot of fun to individuals using the conveying system, each vehicle can be controlled individually. A central control station that is logically connected to the motor control devices is equipped such that the individual control signals are overwritten if necessary, i.e. in case of an imminent collision of vehicles or in case of excessive speeds, so as to impose a riding style that is appropriate for the situation. |
