The parking places, furthermore, have to be differentiated accordingto different parking typologies (free, charged, time-limited, illegal,...).Impacts of changes in parking supply pattern, on the other hand, canaffect both Parking Demand System itself (e.g. occupation ratio ofparking infrastructures, revenues from parking fares,...) and the global
