Mountain Transport Systems

This lecture covers various mountain transport systems, starting with the cogwheel railway, funicular, and cable cars. It explains how these systems overcome steep gradients, the use of cogged rails for propulsion, and the historical development of these technologies. The lecture also delves into the challenges of transitioning between different types of mountain transport systems, such as cogwheel railways and funiculars, and the importance of safety measures like cable guidance and braking systems.
