Proposed design parameters for raised transverse rumble strip profiles to abate discomfort on highways in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-08)
Transverse rumble strips are used in highway design as speed calming measures in built-up areas, where a driver is expected to reduce travel speeds to a new advisory speed. There are diverse designs in terms of shapes, ...
A Model for predicting delay and capacity of right-turn traffic at closely spaced un-signalised junctions
(Makerere University, 2018-07)
The study is centred on developing models to predict traffic delay and right-turning capacity of two successive signalised close junctions. Right-turn traffic at closely spaced un-signalised junctions is associated with ...
Spatial and topological characterization of road traffic accidents in Rwanda
(Makerere University, 2018-05)
Worldwide, road traffic accident injuries and fatalities have risen to be among the leading deaths (Global Status Report (2013). The World Bank and World health organization joint publication reported 1.2 million deaths ...
Options of energy conservation in the brick and tile making industry in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018)
Bricks and tiles are ceramic building materials used in almost all buildings for construction as they are locally available. As a developing country, Uganda’s brick and tile industry is estimated to be growing at a rate ...
Knowledge sharing, entrepreneurial capacity and diffusion of modern energy technologies in rural Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-09)
Despite the rising demand and diversity of sources, technologies and policies aimed at disseminating Modern Energy Technologies (MET) in rural Uganda, diffusion has remained low. The rapid diffusion of Mobile Telephony ...
Water movement control across organic primers for pavements
(Makerere University, 2018-09)
In order to curtail vertical moisture movement through pavement layers, a layer of primer is applied on the top surface of the base. During precipitation, water flows into a porous layer and then moves laterally on top of ...

The effect of using upgraded biogas on generator performance
(Makerere University, 2018-08)
Uganda is experiencing an energy crisis especially in the agro processing subsector of the economy. This is partly due to the small distribution network of the generated hydroelectric power which makes it inaccessible by ...
Improvement of engineering properties of black cotton soil for road construction using PROBASE soil stabilizer
(Makerere University, 2018-04-23)
Black cotton soils, also referred to as expansive soils expand when wet and shrinks when dry causing cracks which on re-wetting, bulks out and causes damage to structures built on them. Research conducted on black cotton ...
Assessment of bus service travel time variability on designated bus routes in Kampala Capital City
(Makerere University, 2018-10-11)
The bus transit system in Kampala is generally mixed with other traffic (Right-of-Way C) and therefore it is expected that travel times are subject to high degrees of variability. This study concentrated on collection and ...
