The Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AA-LRT) trains are being subjected to a high volume of passenger overcrowding especially during peak hours of the day. Due to this, the traction motors are meeting a mechanical load that exceeds the designed overload capacity of the train. As per the vehicle...
Recently, everything in the world becomes smart and digitalized. Many advances have been made in the transportation sector too. However, railway transport in Ethiopia has been an area where such new advances have turned their faces out. Therefore, this paper, will introduce an Automatic Fare...
This study entitled “Perception and Practice of Strategic Public Relations: Evidence from Ministry of Finance†is based on the research questions: To what extent the public relations department of the ministry of finance is involved in strategic public relations/communication approach?...
Background: Hypertension is a common global health problem and major cause of disability andrndeath. Little is known about the knowledge, attitude and practice towards prevention and managementrnof hypertension and associated factors among Police officers. rnObjective: This study was intended to...
Railway transportation is a reasonable choice to transport an enormous volume of passengers and cargos. But guaranteeing the safety and reliability of transport is the main issue. In this research reliability and security issues will be discussed along with types of attacks and measures to be...
The objective of the study was to assess & examine Essential requisites for establishing an institutionalized secondary market in Ethiopia using lessons from other developing countries. The research used a mixed approach with descriptive research design and the study used both primary and secondary...
Poor medication adherence or non-adherence to the prescribed medications amongrnMyocardial Infraction patients is a common problem. This leads to hospital admission due tornincreased MI exacerbations, reduced physical function, and even death. Previous researchrnindicated that medication adherence...
It is proposed that the biggest gap in control of rheumatic heart disease is in implementing ofrnineffective primary and secondary preventive measures. These measures are supposed to be wellrnaddressed by health care providers specially nurses. For anticipation and appropriatecontrollingrnof...
Different approaches have been used to investigate the hydrogeology of a complex fractured volcanic and unconsolidated Quaternary sediment aquifer system in the Upper Mille catchment (part of the lower Awash basin) located at the western escarpment of Afar rift. The water balance components of the...
The title of the study is Assessment on Impacts of Public Relations in Creating Enabling Situations to People with Disabilities: The Case of Addis Ababa City Administration Bureau of Labor and Social Affairs. The study focuses mainly on the impact of public relations on the issues of disability in...
Social media platforms enable many users to communicate freely and share instantaneous data and media products in the form of text, audio and video. However, social media also opens up new rooms for false information to be communicated. This research, therefore, aimed at examining the utilization...
Wheel/rail wear continues to be an important factor that limits the service life of rolling stock. Wheel-rail surfaces are subjected to contact stresses that results in surface damage which is observed as either wear or contact fatigue damage mechanisms. The contact stresses are the result of train...
The railway track is one of the most important element of a railway system. During passage of trains, the rails are subjected to contact load that comes from the wheels of the train. The railway track often fail in service due to wear caused by contact fatigue and other wear damage mechanisms. It...
Increasing the axle load and speed on existing railway lines is one of the railway industry’s approach that has been taken to improve the rail transport system. In this regard, improvement in stability of railway embankments, in terms of blanket layer inclusion, as an important part of each...
Electric trains are made up of various safety-sensitive systems, these systems are safety-sensitive in that a simple loophole can compromise the train’s safety and may lead to catastrophic incidents and accidents. These systems are usually maintained regularly at set schedules and...
The current trend of increased speeds and axle loads in the railway industry has led to accelerated wear of railway contact materials. This effect has brought with it new technological challenges including the monitoring and optimization of the wheel-rail interface parameters. For predictive...
Safety plays a prime importance in all aspects of life, especially in railway level crossings.rnBecause accidents at level crossing contribute large portion on train accidents which costs humanrnlife and economical crisis. Moreover, the accident occur cause train delay and...
In Low and Middle-Income Countries such as Ethiopia, most operating rooms (ORs) are built without the proper consideration given to the layout design of the room. This is one of the major causes for the spread of infection. According to WHO, this affects one third of surgical patients in these...
Parallel manipulators have some special properties in comparison to serial robots,rnmaking them increasingly appealing in industrial applications as technology advances.rnsuch as: more rigid structure, high orientation accuracy, better control onrnthe limits of velocities and accelerations, good...
In this thesis work the technical feasibility, design, and simulation of a single-phase grid-connected PV system is studied. The aim is to design and simulate a single-phase grid-connected PV system for railway traction applications. The design of a single-phase grid-connected PV system now days is...
