Public lighting in Prague: The new THMP switches it on according to current needs
“There are a total of 1583 switching points in Prague. They are divided into three circuits, and the switching lamp from the Holešovice headquarters thus takes place in three stages. The center of Prague will be the first to light up, always at sunset time of the day. In the end, after six minutes of the wider center of Prague and as the last one with a gap of another four minutes, the peripheral part of the metropolis, “said Chabr.
By controlling the lighting of the lamp from its headquarters, THMP is able to identify the problem and respond more quickly. “Until now, we only knew about the operating conditions or the failure of the public lighting thanks to frequent checks or reports to the public via the Prague lights up, the telephone line or e-mail, “Said Tomáš Jílek, Chairman of the Board of Directors of THMP.
To transition The lighting from the Holešovice headquarters was switched on gradually from January this year. It has been fully operational since the beginning of November. This year, according to the THMP, the number of reports of public lighting failures from the public fell by about 20 percent.
THMP is a city company. In recent years and months, for example, it has introduced so-called smart public clocks, which are controlled remotely. She installed Prague parks with intelligent lighting, where it is possible to turn on the lamps and regulate them remotely.
