Road and Bridge Blocking System in Flood Situation

Abstract: The system uses hydraulic or mechanical barriers that can be quickly opened in response to rising water levels, preventing access to barriers and bridges. Up to date data from weather forecasters and water gauges provide effective protection to ensure closure times before flooding reaches critical levels. In addition, the central control centre provides timely updates to the public via mobile and digital signage applications, encouraging collaboration with emergency services and local authorities. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to highway authorities and other relevant organisations on road drainage. One problem that arises during floods is the closure of roads due to flooding, especially on roads located near rivers and canals. Most brides give the height above the highest water level, but the approach to the bridges often does not give the required height. As a result, the road was flooded while the bridge was standing
