You mean a paternoster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift)?
- CuriousCosmic 5y agoI think a Paternoster wouldn't be viable for a number of reasons (mainly ADA/accessibility). Instead you'd need to have each car independently powered and allow them to communicate back to a central planning server to allow cars to stop without stopping all other cars in the lane (and to prevent other cars from bunching up).
