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

Hi Griffin,
I would model the cabins as a railway or tramway with a loop (and
no level crossings) and two stations. For railways you need some
dummy signals to get the right headway.
Derive a vehicle class which can hold 10 persons and a fixed
schedule. With some buffer time you should be able to have a
constant flow of gondolas.
I'm currently in the process of developing an urban cable
car/gondola system in a Sumo simulation using existing
functionalities. This concept is based on the existing urban cable car system
found in La Paz. Before I get too deep into the
development, I was curious if anyone else has attempted to
do this, or if there is any documentation that might be
helpful.
Thanks as always,
