In recent years, various parking problems by increase of car traffic have become serious problems in central areas of many cities in Japan. Traffic demand is considered as the main factor of these problems. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is focused on policy to attempt the effective use of transportation. With the progress of information and communication technology, information offer system developed.
Research and development is go ahead with the field of development of an Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project, and it is expected to be shown new directionality on solution of many problems. There is an information offer for a driver as one of a policy by an information offer. Since reaction of a driver on offered information is the basis of other many effects, we have to analyze in detail.

Especially in this study, we pay attention to the relationship between perception of queuing time and parking choice and switching behavior under PGI system. We use the questionnaire data obtained at the Central area of Toyohashi on holidays.
As a result of analysis, we could establish that the relationship between the effects of the PGI system on drivers and various factors are significant.
