驶入未来：技术将使美国人热爱停车(英文)
Riding into the Future:Technologies That Will Make Americans Love Parking

我们正处于技术革新之中，不久的将来，新的技术工具将会改变人们的停车方式。
当然，现在已经有很多的停车技术在应用中，例如，咪表收费已经广泛用于政府和私人拥有的停车场所；无线技术也使停车场所有者更加方便有效的管理停车场，不过这些只是冰山一角，将来的技术将使停车更加方便快捷和便于管理。
这些技术工具并不会一夜之间就出现在我们周边的停车场所中，他们会很昂贵，有些安装起来也很复杂，不过想起来着实令人兴奋，这些新技术主要体现在车辆识别系统，无线停车管理，智能交通系统和通讯方面。

We are in the midst of a technological revolution.It won't be long before new technological tools change the way we view parking.
Of course, there are already many different parking technologies that are in everyday use.For instance,pay-on-foot equipment has been omnipresent in both municipal and privately owned parking structures for years.And wireless technologies ,which are beginning to stake a foothold in parking structures across the U.S.,are helping parking owners manage their facilities more effectively and efficiently.Howeber,these are just the tip of the iceberg.The technologies of the future will dwarf our current tools in their ability to make parking more convenient,efficient,and manageable.
Of course,these tools won't appear in our neighborhood parking facilities overnight.They can be very expensive,and some are complicated to install.Nonetheless a look into the crystal ball presents a very exciting glimpse of the future.the new technologies contains vehicle identification,wireless parking management, intelligent transportation systems and communication.
