37) operates using two vehicles which move on rails with the aid of a cable; one of the vehicles is ascending while the other one is descending. The cable rolls over pulleys which are mounted on the track superstructure. The vehicles are permanently connected to both ends of the cable and start and stop simultaneously. The ascending vehicle uses the gravitational force of the descending one (counterbalance system). The system usually connects distances of less than 5 km, with constant longitudinal gradients of around 300–500‰ (max value recorded in practice: 1,200‰, see Chapter 10).
20 r2 > ro > r1 applies (where ro the rolling radius of the two wheels in the initial equilibrium position). 1) (V1, V2: relative velocities of the two wheels). The wheel running at a relatively higher speed (wheel 2) will overtake the other wheel (wheel 1), and due to the rigid wheel connection, this will cause a rotation of the axle with regard to the transversal axis y0 . Owing to the simultaneous forward rolling of the wheelset, the rolling radius r1 of wheel 1 constantly increases while the rolling radius r2 of wheel 2 constantly decreases.

Finally, this system is an alternative method for the improvement of the mechanical strength of the existing infrastructure (Buananno and Mele, 1996; Schoch, 2001). The civil engineering structures comprise the tunnels and the underground sections of the track, the bridges, the overpasses/underpasses, the embankments and cuttings, the drainage systems, the soil retaining walls, the galleries, the noise barriers and the fences.
