小黃車要發衛星了，ofo終于能有定位功能了
China's bike-sharing companies have found that success breeds its own set of challenges. As bike-sharing's popularity has skyrocketed, Chinese cities have strained to deal with the sprawling masses of shared bicycles that surround many bus and subway stations at rush hours, blocking pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Bike-sharing companies have hired workers to organize their bicycles. Several cities have instituted regulations to deal with the problem. Yet the situation has left some wondering if bike sharing can be regulated without killing the convenience.
中國共享單車公司發現他們的成功也為自己帶來了一些挑戰。隨著共享單車人氣的飆升，中國各城市竭盡全力處理大量雜亂無序的共享單車，這些自行車在交通高峰期圍繞在許多公交和地鐵站周圍，阻礙了行人和車輛交通。共享單車公司已雇用了工人來整理他們的自行車。有幾個城市已實行了相關條例來解決這一問題。而這一形勢使人們想要知道是否可以在不損害其便利性的情況下管理共享單車。
Bike-sharing start-ups like Ofo and Beijing Mobike Technology Co have had to establish maintenance teams to deal with the mounting problems of illegally parked and inconveniently placed bicycles that have accompanied China's bike-sharing boom.
隨著共享單車的急速發展，OFO以及北京摩拜等新創辦的共享單車企業不得不設立維護團隊來處理越來越多的自行車違規停放以及安置不當的問題。
The biggest bike-sharing platforms such as Mobike and Ofo have turned to technology to address the parking problem.
那些最大的共享單車平臺，如摩拜和OFO，開始用技術來解決自行車停放問題。
For example, Mobike in April 2024 set up hundreds of smart Mobike Preferred Locations in eight cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. These locations employ Internet of Things technology and built-in sensors that help the company precisely locate its bikes.
例如，摩拜單車在2024年4月在北京、上海、廣州等8個城市設置了上百個摩拜智能單車首選停放地點。這些地點運用了物聯網技術以及內置傳感器幫助公司更精確地定位它們的自行車。
Ofo has joined forces with the satellite navigation company BDStar Navigation to improve its positioning technology.
OFO則聯合衛星導航公司北斗星通來提高其定位技術。
However, these measures have yet to succeed at keeping cities' roads and sidewalks open to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
然而，這些措施并未成功地保證車輛及行人在城市道路及人行道上暢通無阻。
On April 21, the Beijing municipal government issued guidelines for the bike-sharing industry that require companies to take "major responsibility" for their vehicles. The guidelines also encouraged district governments to carve out more parking space for bicycles.
4月21日，北京市政府頒布了共享單車行業準則，要求相關企業對其單車承擔“主要責任”。該準則還鼓勵地方政府為自行車開辟更多停放區域。
However, the analysts pointed out that bike sharing wouldn't be nearly as convenient if every bicycle ended up in a designated parking area. If that were the case, some users might opt for other forms of transportation.
然而，分析師指出，如果每一輛自行車最終都要停在指定的停車區域，那共享單車就不會這么便利了。如果是這樣的話，一些用戶可能會選擇其他形式的交通工具。
"The industry would lose much of its advantage," he said.
“這一行業將失去其主要優勢。”他說道。
Local governments could alleviate the problem by assigning traffic police to supervise bicycle parking, but that would add to the cost, experts noted.
專家稱，當地政府也可以通過安排交警來監督自行車停放來緩解這一問題，不過這樣會增加成本。
