使用电子智能卡作为使用者获取和支付交通服务的替代手段，现已成为许多运营商的一个可行选择。过去，智能卡的支持者主要将其作为一种支付机制来推广使用。然而，在现实中，智能卡有能力和灵活性，提供更多的ITS（智能交通系统）领域。本文详细阐述了上述声明，并举例说明了智能卡的当前和未来用途，这些用途不仅仅是一种支付媒介。智能卡技术并不是什么新技术;它是在25年前发明的，用智能卡实现已经有近20年的时间了。不过，只是在过去四、五年内，交通机构和其他系统供应商才开始在中型至大型的范围内采用以智能卡为基础的系统，以补充或取代现有的付款和使用服务的方法。这些大规模计划的成功使智能卡从“新技术”上升为“标准技术”。这本身就为智能卡及其相关技术打开了市场。
The use of an electronic smart card as an alternative means for users to access and pay for transport services is now emerging as a viable option for many operators. In the past, the use of smart cards has been promoted by their proponents primarily as a mechanism for payment. However, in reality, the smart card has the capability and flexibility to offer much more to the field of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems). This paper elaborates on the above statement, with examples of both current and future uses of the smart card, which extend beyond being just a payment medium. Smart card technology is by no means new; it was invented more than 25 years ago and implementations have been made with smart cards for almost two decades. Never theless, only within the past four or five years have transport operators and other system providers begun to introduce, on a medium to large-scale, smart-card based systems either to complement or replace existing means of payment and service access. The success of these significantly-sized schemes has moved the smart card over the cusp, from a “new technology” to a “standard technology”. This, in itself, has opened up the market for smart cards and their associated technologies.
