TMCPThe Main Traffic Management CentreThe Main Traffic Management Centre provides central monitoring of the traffic situation and central coordinated traffic management and control in the city of Prague and provides verified real-time traffic information. The sources of these data are, for example, telematics devices, systems of the Police of the Czech Republic, the Fire Rescue Service and the Emergency Medical Service, and also the Central road closures record system. All information on the traffic situation is processed by the Control system of the Traffic management Centre, which reacts automatically to the traffic situation by invoking so-called traffic management scenarios. The individual steps of a scenario change the status of telematics devices to ensure the free flow of traffic.

EPCEnergy performance certificateThe building Energy Performance Certificate is used to evaluate the energy performance of a building - it quantifies all the energy consumed in the standardised operation of the assessed building and (like an appliance energy label) classifies the building into the appropriate class in the range A-G. The label assesses all the energy required to operate the building, i.e. energy for heating, hot water, cooling, air handling through ventilation and air conditioning, and energy for lighting. The certificate can be processed for any building or part of a building.
