Iindlela zeSizwe zityala i-£ 15.4m kwizikhululo zemozulu ezitsha njengoko zilungiselela ixesha lasebusika. Ngokusondela kwebusika, iiNdlela eziPhakamileyo zeSizwe zityala imali ye-£ 15.4m kwinethiwekhi entsha yesimo sezulu sezikhululo zezulu, kubandakanywa neziseko zokuxhasa, eziza kubonelela ngedatha yexesha langempela leemeko zendlela.
Umbutho ulungele ixesha lasebusika kunye neegritter ezingaphezu kwe-530 ukubiza kwiimeko ezimbi kunye neetoni ezijikelezayo ze-280,000 zetyuwa kwiidepho ze-128 kwinethiwekhi yayo.
UDarren Clark, uMphathi weSevere Weather Resilience kwiNational Highways uthe: “Utyalo-mali lwethu ekuphuculeni izikhululo zethu zemozulu yindlela nje yamva nje yokuphuhlisa isakhono sethu sokuqikelela imozulu.
"Sililungele ixesha lasebusika kwaye siza kuphuma kwaye malunga nemini okanye ebusuku xa iindlela zifuna ukugalelwa ityuwa. Sinabantu, iinkqubo kunye neteknoloji kwindawo yokwazi ukuba kuphi kwaye nini i-grit kwaye siza kusebenza ukugcina abantu behamba ngokukhuselekileyo ezindleleni zethu nayiphi na imeko yemozulu esiyifumanayo."
Izikhululo zemozulu zibonakalisa i-sensors ze-atmospheric kunye ne-sensors zendlela ezifakwe kwiintambo ukusuka kwisikhululo semozulu ukuya kwindlela. Baya kulinganisa ikhephu kunye nomkhenkce, ukubonakala kwinkungu, imimoya ephezulu, izikhukhula, ubushushu bomoya, ukufuma kunye nemvula yengozi ye-aquaplaning.
Izikhululo zemozulu zibonelela ngolwazi lwemozulu oluchanekileyo, lwexesha lokwenyani loqikelelo olusebenzayo lwexesha elifutshane kunye nexesha elide kunye nokubekwa esweni kweemeko zemozulu ezinzima.
Ukugcina iindlela zikhuselekile kwaye zihamba, umgangatho wendlela kunye nemozulu ye-atmospheric kufuneka ibekwe esweni ngokuqhubekayo. Iimeko zemozulu ezifana nekhephu kunye nomkhenkce, imvula enkulu, inkungu, kunye nemimoya ephezulu inokuchaphazela ukhuseleko ezindleleni ngeendlela ezininzi ezahlukeneyo. Ukubonelela ngolwazi oluthembekileyo kubalulekile kwimisebenzi yokulondoloza ubusika.
Isikhululo semozulu sokuqala siza kwaziswa ku-A56 kufuphi ne-Accrington ngomhla wama-24 ku-Okthobha kwaye kulindeleke ukuba sisebenze ngosuku olulandelayo.
Iindlela zeSizwe ziphinda zikhumbuze abaqhubi beemoto ukuba bakhumbule UHAMBO ngaphambi kohambo kobu busika – i-Top-up: i-oyile, amanzi, ukuhlamba isikrini; Ukuphumla: phumla rhoqo kwiiyure ezimbini; Hlola: Jonga amatayara kunye nezibane kwaye ulungiselele: jonga indlela yakho kunye noqikelelo lwemozulu.
Izitishi ezintsha zemozulu, ezikwabizwa ngokuba yi-Environmental Sensor Stations (ESS) zihamba ukusuka kwi-domain-based data efunda iimeko zemozulu kwindawo ejikelezileyo ukuya kwidatha esekelwe kumzila ofunda iimeko zemozulu kwindlela ethile.
Umlindi wemozulu ngokwawo unebhetri yokulondoloza kwimeko yokulahlekelwa kwamandla, i-suite epheleleyo yeenzwa kunye neekhamera zamawele ezijongene phezulu nangaphantsi kwendlela ukuze zibone imeko yendlela. Olu lwazi lukhutshelwe kwiiNkonzo zeSizwe zoLwazi ngeMozulu eziNgqongileyo zeSizwe ethi yona inike ulwazi kumagumbi ayo olawulo kwilizwe lonke.
Iinzwa zomphezulu wendlela - zifakwe ngaphakathi kwendlela, zifakwe kwi-flush kunye ne-surface, ii-sensor zithatha imilinganiselo eyahlukeneyo kunye nokuqwalaselwa kwendlela. Isetyenziswa kwisikhululo semozulu sendlela ukunika ulwazi oluchanekileyo noluthembekileyo kumphezulu womhlaba (umanzi, owomileyo, umkhenkce, iqabaka, ikhephu, ubukho bekhemikhali/ityuwa) kunye nobushushu bomhlaba.
Abenzi boluvo be-atmospheric (ubushushu bomoya, ukufuma okunxulumeneyo, imvula, isantya somoya, icala oya ngakulo umoya, ukubonakala) zibonelela ngolwazi olunokubaluleka kwindawo yonke yokuhambahamba.
Izikhululo zemozulu ezikhoyo koohola bendlela beSizwe zisebenza kumnxeba wasekhaya okanye wemodem, kanti izikhululo zemozulu ezitsha ziya kusebenza kwi-NRTS (iNkonzo yeSizwe yoNxibelelwano lweNdlela).
