Introduction
For the tariff design variant of the "graduated price" type, the price is designed with a graduation. Specifically, this means that the maximum parking duration is divided into several time periods. Normally, parking fees should follow a descending curve to give an advantage to long-term parker.
Graduated prices:
The following table shows an example of a price scale:

Tabelle 4: Example with tiered price
The scale consists of six segments of one hour each. The price per hour decreases. The steps are ten minutes everywhere.
Example:
To illustrate the tiered price, let's take the following example:
•The price scale corresponds to the previous table.
•Parker#1 uses the car park from 07:00 to 08:37
•Parker#2 uses the car park from 13:00 to 15:28
•Parker#3 uses the car park from 12:00 to 18:00
The park sessions are shown below in chronological order:
