🚡 Gondola Lift: Throughput, Headway, Queue and Wind Closure (2D)

Side view of a detachable gondola line with a queue at the lower terminal over a working day. Set the demand, cabin size, line speed, cabin spacing and the afternoon wind, and see the capacity, the queue growing and draining, the waiting time and the cabin swing, and when wind forces the line to slow down or close. The queue is checked against conservation, Little's law and a pendulum integration, with four in-page numerical checks.
