The Smoke Signal app can be used by departmental officials to report on a variety of road related defects on departmental road infrastructure. Typical defects that can be reported on includes, but is not limited to:
• Crack
• Edge break
• Erosion
• Fence
• Guard rail
• Pothole
• Road sign
• Rutting
• Vegetation
The app uses the current GPS location of the user to determine the location of the road defect. Alternative locations can be selected on a live map.
A detailed description of the defect can be recorded and photos can be taken and uploaded along with additional supporting information.
Defects are recorded in the departmental PROMAN system (https://proman.mz.co.za) upon submission from the Smoke Signal app.
PROMAN manages the workflow of the reported defect and constantly updates the reporting official of the current status of the issue.
IMPORTANT: Smoke Signal is only for use by registered officials within the Northern Cape Department of Roads & Public Works.
