This article presents the building of a dynamic model of a bi-cable ropeway. Thanks to the assumption of quasi-static advance of the vehicles, the calculation is performed step by step. At each step, a transient linearized dynamic solution is calculated around the quasi-static equilibrium using modal bases. The ropeway system is substructured considering the different elements: track rope, hauling rope and vehicles represented by pendulums. The results of time integration give the accelerations felt by the passengers according to the load case.
