Pedestrian perceptions: a study of the Mount Pleasant neighborhood in Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Most short distance travel, less than three miles, is being completed by single occupancy vehicles in North America, which leads to many negative effects on the physical environment and citizens' quality of life. Therefore, understanding influences on travel behavior, more specifically non-automotive travel behavior, is crucial. Many researchers and city planners have touted specific factors for encouraging walking and biking, but the body of work to support such notions remains small and fragmented. This study was developed to test all previously identified motivating factors for walking and biking and their relative influence over one's choice. The Mount Pleasant neighborhood in Vancouver, B.C., Canada was chosen as the location for this study because all of the motivating factors were present. Data was collected through a questionnaire-based survey, which also contained demographic and behavioral clarifying questions. In the end, all previous factors were shown to have some influence over one's decision, but some relationships were stronger than others. This work provides a basic outline for future travel behavior studies, and highlights important factors that need further exploration.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
