Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

GPS data crowd-sourced through smart phones is an emerging source of inexpensive data that can be used to provide real-time traffic information, identify traffic patterns, and predict traffic congestions. The same type of data can be very useful for cost-effective, fast updating of road network databases due to its rich spatial and temporal coverage and high data volume. This paper presents the results of a study that extracts road geometry data using GPS data received from smart phones. The focus is on the method for road centerlines and the study presents some promising results. It is expected the method can supplement, if not replace, the current practices of acquiring road network data using traditional expensive and time consuming survey or remote sensing approaches.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
