A passenger ropeway system has a plurality of vehicles mounted on a traction cable for movement between its stations. A hazard detection evaluation unit is connected to cameras and evaluate image data from an exit area to determine the presence of a vehicle and passengers in that exit area. In the event of such presence, when another vehicle enters the exit area or is at a predetermined distance from such entry, an emergency deceleration or emergency stop signal is generated. The signal is used to slow down or stop the vehicle or vehicles directly and automatically without the need for an operator to be present. In addition, image signals from the cameras are transmitted to an operator display device via a signal transmitter so that an operator can restart the ropeway system if necessary.
