1. A control device for a cable transport facility of the type comprising at least one controller capable of organizing an embarking period (Tn_max) of a nominal duration for vehicles at a station, said embarking period (Tn_max) ending with access to the vehicle being prohibited, wherein the controller comprises an input for receiving at least one variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) representative of a vehicle occupancy, and the controller is arranged to react to the receipt of such a variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) during the embarking period (Tn_max) by comparing it with a threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr) and by triggering the prohibition on access to the vehicle in advance, before the end of the embarking period (Tn_max), as a function of a result of the comparison between said variable (FrPlcNr, Wght) and the threshold value (FrPlcNr_thr, Wght_thr).
