PARKING
Identification of patterns and prediction of parking in the city of Lisbon to improve surveillance efficiency.
Objective
To create new models either to predict or to generate viable alternatives for illegal parking in the city.
Research question
What are the characteristics of the locations where exists an higher number of occurrences regarding irregular parking?
Where and at what time of day is expected to exist an higher number of illegalities regarding irregular parking?

Data understanding
Information about occurrences of irregular parking for 2018 and 2019 in Lisbon registed by the municipal police (60 000 occurrences).
