The objective of this study is to develop a three-dimensional multibody system (MBS) for the dynamic simulation of rope-propelled automated people movers (RAPM). These public transport systems include guided vehicles which operate in a fully automated mode on a separate guideway. In design stage of an RAPM the optimisation of ride comfort and durability is aspired. Therefore, an elastic rope model has been implemented in a state-of-the-art MBS software. The coupling of the rope model with standard MBS elements allows for the integrated simulation of these transport systems which will enhance the prediction quality of the overall system dynamics.
