Aerial ropeway is an effective alternative to the conventional modes of land public transport in metropolitan areas and cities. Construction of passenger aerial ropeways in urban environment is a very costly enterprise in terms of engineering and economics, and requires significant financial resources. This article is aimed at the development of the design method of the passenger aerial ropeway, ensuring the reduction in its construction cost. For this purpose, the individual components of the construction cost are considered, and the approximate calculation dependencies are proposed. It is shown that the cost of the aerial ropeway is mainly influenced by the installation step, height of intermediate towers and carrying rope tension. The task of the conditional nonlinear optimization of the given parameters is formulated and solved in the research. This task ensures the minimum cost of the aerial ropeway. The optimization task is done by taking into account possible limitations on the ropeway laying in the severely urbanized environment (the terrain, urban infrastructure arrangement, altitude performance of the urban development, technical characteristics of the carrying rope, etc.). Implementing the solution findings of the given optimization task makes it possible to significantly reduce the construction cost of aerial ropeways in urban environment.

城市环境下的空中架空索道设计

架空索道是大都市地区和城市中常规陆地公共交通方式的有效替代方案。就工程和经济而言，在城市环境中建造乘客架空索道是一项非常昂贵的工作，并且需要大量的财政资源。本文旨在发展旅客架空索道的设计方法，以确保其建造成本的降低。为此，考虑了建筑成本的各个组成部分，并提出了近似的计算依赖性。结果表明，架空索道的成本主要受安装步骤，中间塔高和承载绳张力的影响。研究中提出并解决了给定参数的条件非线性优化任务。该任务确保了架空索道的最低成本。优化任务是通过考虑在严重城市化环境中铺设索道的可能限制（地形，城市基础设施布置，城市发展的高度性能，运载绳的技术特性等）来完成的。实施给定优化任务的解决方案发现，可以显着降低城市环境中架空索道的建设成本。
