  Transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infrastructure includes the transport networks (roads, railways, airways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and seaports).
The growth in transport would be impossible without communication, which is vital for advanced transportation systems, from railroads which want to run trains in two directions on a single track, to air traffic control which requires knowing the location of aircraft in the sky.
Transport is a major use of energy, and transport burns most of the world's petroleum.

 Patent 4858311
A device for the transporting of cable sections is provided where cables (19), with a length of up to about 10 meters, are transported step by step from processing station to processing station along a cable-processing line with a processing station disposed on the two sides of the cable-processing line.
A cable (19), gripped on one side by a stationary gripper (15), is discharged with a cable feed device with the aid of an insertable deflector (49) into a receiver provision (11) for forming a cable bundle (20).
The two cable ends 21, 22 of the cable bundle 20 are gripped by grippers 15', 16' of the stationary gripper module 13', 14' and by the gripper 18 of the transfer module 17.

 Patent 4843968
At a station of an overhead cable transport installation, such as an aerial cableway, wherein the disembarking section is connected with the embarking section by a transfer section, a revolving clock conveyor travels along the transfer section.
The overhead transport installation can be accordingly operated in such a manner that also when the vehicles deviate from a predetermined mutual position or phase, either to an increased extent or to a lesser extent, there is possible the operative association of the vehicles with the entrainment members at the transfer section or path.
During operation of the single cable aerial cableway, the vehicles 2 arriving or inbounding at the disembarking section or path 4 are conveyed by the friction wheels 9 at the contemplated disembarking velocity in the direction of the transfer section or path 5.

 United States Patent Application: 0040198502
A zip line thrill ride system includes a cable suspended between a upper cable support tower and platform which, together, function as the harnessing, loading, and take-off point for the ride, and a lower cable support tower and platform which, together, function as the landing, unloading and unharnessing point of the ride.
When the trolley is affixed to the suspended cable by sliding the cable into the slit and rotating the brake, the grooved insert rides against the suspended cable and generates friction.
The zip line transport system of claim 12, wherein said trolley further comprises a bolt that passes through the arcuate slit and is secured within said brake, thereby securing said brake within the brake retainer and limiting rotational movement of the brake to arcuate movement within a range of 90 to 120 degrees.

 Patent 5134571
The present installation relates to cable transport systems in which a closed loop formed of a carrier-tractive cable or tractive cable travels over a first pulley and a second pulley, one at least of these two pulleys driving and being driven by a motor controlled by a control means.
Transport members are attached to the cable to be driven by said cable between the first fixed frame or first station and the second fixed frame or second station of the installation.
Cable installations are often used for transporting passengers, particularly in mountain regions, and comprise a lower station and an upper station, the stations being remote from each other.
