Parking is not ugly Rome how to harness the parking problems





Europe is the cradle of automobile, Rome has a strong automotive culture ; Italy has Fiat the international giants, coupled with the "close" in Germany, the car can be more selective and price is not high. Therefore, Rome and most first-tier cities in China, has a huge amount of vehicle ownership. However, because many of the "antique", Rome cannot readily be dug underground car parks, parking seems to be a big challenge, Rome: how to solve the puzzle? take a look at the text/figure reporters! week Weili

The first move:

Most road sides allow parking

Smart和类似于Smart的小车数量最多,它们之所以大受欢迎,最大原因恐怕是好停车。

Smart (Gallery Forum) and similar to the Smart car sales up, they are very popular, perhaps the biggest reason good parking.

Rome is one of the "Millennium City", a building at the roadside are hundreds or even thousands of years of history, can't move, can't move, therefore, these buildings are not likely to have an underground car park. Vehicles are parked gone? answer is stopped to each side of the road. Do not think that the Roman road and like domestic frequently 10 lanes, they only poor two-way trunk four lanes of traffic, only a six-lane is bi-directional, nevertheless, remains in the extrusion of space, on each side of the road to the parking, the little road to the "exemptions".

In fact, apart from Rome, Europe's major cities have allowed parking, even though the name such as Champs, road side is full of cars. The advantage is that a lot of parking and road space utilization to the extreme, and appears to be substantially enhanced the ease of parking. The local people said that they rarely take the time to find parking or waiting for a parking space, in company downstairs along can usually find a parking space. "Rome was not large, if not to stop here, there is not to stop, it also let us how to drive?" Introduction to the local tour guide.

Second trick:

Stopping distance not exceeding 5 cm

摩托车是罗马人用来短途代步的交通工具,比如买些日常用品。

Motorcycle is the Romans used to short-distance transport of transport, such as buy daily necessities.

In Rome, parking is not like domestic draw a square of wireframe, a box can only stop a car, but a car next to a bus stop, immediately after the front bumper behind the rear bumper, car and truck spacing between not more than 5 cm. The second day in Rome, I had the privilege to see their parking "feat" skilled self-evident, but the location is too small, light technical enough, "even touch with arch": touch after car vehicle, Arch, just out of a location. Therefore, the Roman road car front and rear bumpers are often "torn", but the owners are used to it. Furthermore, Smart and similar to the Smart car sales up, they are very popular, perhaps the biggest reason good parking, other models need to be straight out of position, it can stop go sideways, because it's bus and don't car chekuan consistent, many small spaces and only they are able to stop in.

Third-stroke:

The longer the higher fees

时间越长,收费越高,这能够让车位周转更快。

longer, higher fees, which enables faster turnover of parking spaces.

In Europe, the parking is not immutable; Switzerland Zurich street stop, half an hour is 0.5 Switzerland franc, 1 hour but rose to 2 Switzerland franc, 2-hour charge is up to 5 Switzerland francs (approximately equal to 1 Switzerland franc 6 Yuan) ― the longer the time stops, each half hour charging a higher price. Therefore, in Zurich, often you can see the "moving a car" they use the noon break the car from roadside moved to empty out the location of the parking lot, because of the high-street parking is not easy to bear.

The longer the charging higher and higher. The biggest advantage is that both parking and convenient at the same time, ensure the smooth flow of road, but also to keep the parking "flow" for a short time parking for car owners to find parking space in the first instance. Many cities even allows parking, charges are fixed, the first hour, $ 4, the eight-hour charge is $ 4, the apparent lack of "deterrent force", many vehicles "PA" is 10 hours.

The first four strokes and take care of:

Encourage car, motorcycle

罗马道路狭窄,路边停满车辆。

Roman roads are narrow, roadside full vehicle.

Rome is full of street car and motorcycle. Do not think that the motorcycle cheap, a somewhat decent motorcycles are fast catching up with the price of the car; can also do not think that the motorcycle, motorcycle everywhere rampant in Rome, like must be with the vehicle, such as compliance with traffic rules, such as traffic lights to give way to pedestrians, parking, not speeding. Of course, motorcycle and automobile also has the same rights, for example, you can speed on our roads.

Car and motorcycle most easy to find parking spaces, in Rome and traveling, you will find many alley, all full of car or motorcycle, local residents home generally has a big car, a car and a motorcycle. The cart is the B-class cars in China or MPV to weekend trips over long distances; the car was used to commute to work; but the more motorcycles are used for short-distance transport, such as buy daily necessities.

These four instruments seems simple, but in fact is the "parking" proven methods, for reference. Go to alone, the construction of a car parking building expansion is fundamentally solve the "parking" difficulty of this challenge. Many cities, the annual increase in the number of parking spaces is far behind in the development of the car, but most buildings pop "selling parking spaces" that allows limited parking resources are stretched. Rome proven, without affecting traffic, the road will always be the biggest, is also the most convenient "car park". Allows most road side parking fee believed, the majority of owners are willing to accept, at least every day now and find parking sweat stronger.

In April 2007, the Bush administration and Korea signed US-ROK free trade agreement (FTA), but the final result of us beef and auto-export articles on differences remain in the "out" State.

Obama and Korea Government restart trade negotiations, the world's most closed one of the automotive market ― Korea automobile market is expected to open three cheqi country United States. At present, in the United States market in Korea automobile quantity every year approximately 70 million units, while in Korea market United States automobile number 7000 vehicles only.

Ford said in a statement: "Ford is hope and the United States Government and Congress together towards Han MI new trade regulations. Korea market on United States Cheqi open, we will demonstrate to Korea consumers United States automobile industry's rapid growth and strength. ”

However, the difference is that the United States for another local cheqi ― General Motors has always maintained a neutral attitude.

Southeast Asia into the following three Detroit after India next battlefield





Super cars news today, as the Detroit three cheqi ( General, and Ford Chrysler ) heard the word "Asia", in their mind is the first, followed by China and India. However, in addition to China and India, Asia was also a territorial intensively to wait for their pioneering and occupation, that is from 10 countries, 5.5 billion demographic composition of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

  Opportunities

Power forecasts 2010 Southeast Asia car sales will reach 200 million units, i.e. achieve United Kingdom market size, and 2015 and this figure will increase to 260 million. Visible, the Southeast Asian automotive market with great potential for development.

  Status

Detroit three in Southeast Asia are facing a tough battle. It is expected that GM, Ford and Chrysler 2010 Southeast Asian market joint sales will reach 5.5 million units, representing Southeast Asia market share of only 3%. Of these, Chrysler annual export to Southeast Asia market hundreds of vehicles only.

  Challenge

Since the mid-1990s and into the Southeast Asian market, the Detroit three has been affected by the strong oppression rixiche enterprises. To Toyota and Honda rixiche enterprises is headed by the automobile market in South East Asia, South-East of rulers occupies 90% market share.

Thailand and Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest car market, the annual car sales are up to 60 million units. Followed by Malaysia, annual sales of 50 million units. The remaining 30 million distributed in Viet Nam, the Philippines and Cambodia and other countries, but these countries, car sales have no more than 15 million units.

Detroit three crocodiles ideas let Thailand and Indonesia consumers abandon Toyota Corolla (Gallery Forum) and Honda SI domain (Gallery Forum) , Japanese products to purchase their cars and trucks. While Mara Gracia, Detroit three more let local cheqi beautex (Proton) and Perodua-owned automobile company retaining outside the door.

Ford and GM in the late 1990s has established production base in Thailand, hope you can achieve economies of scale, and from the production base to export to Southeast Asia. However, South-East Asian regional economic integration development significantly slower than expected, automotive import and export trade remains infant stage "". In more developed countries in Southeast Asia, import tariffs remain high, resulting in sales of imported vehicles accounted for less than 10%. Southeast Asia regional integration is one of the obstacles is the political differences between countries, such as the military dictatorship in Myanmar, vibrant democracies management Indonesia, as well as communism line Viet Nam and Laos. Among the countries of economic power but also a large gap. Singapore is a wealthy country, Myanmar and Laos were the world's least developed countries.

  Breakthrough

In the face of the Japanese competitor of "rule" status and South-East Asia Economic and trade aspects of the obstacle, the Detroit three cheqi surrender?.

At present, the Detroit three to Thailand as their breakthrough. They want to Thailand into their export base. Thailand is expected to be in 2010 to produce 150 million cars and trucks, of which half will be used to export. 2015, Thailand automotive production will reach 220 million units.

GM and Ford plan to Thailand to raise annual production of 30 million units. Ford also recently announced that it will invest in Thailand 4.5 million to establish the first factory, the factory alone from 2012 began to produce for export focus of Ford models.

In short, Detroit Cheqi executing Southeast Asia policy is: tenaciously and rixiche enterprises scramble the rapidly growing Southeast Asian automobile market, Thailand into global production and export base, and will gradually be increased to 100 exporting countries.

Southeast Asia's population reaches twice the United States, and the national income is growing. Southeast Asian automotive market battle is a battle for Detroit Cheqi are worth to face battle.
