Abstract
In recent years, various techniques have been applied to modeling radio-wave propagation in railway networks, each one presenting its own advantages and limitations. This paper presents a hybrid channel modeling technique, which combines two of these methods, the ray-tracing (RT) and vector parabolic equation (VPE) methods, to enable the modeling of realistic railway scenarios including stations and long guideways within a unified simulation framework. The general-purpose RT method is applied to analyze propagation in complex areas, whereas the VPE method is reserved for long and uniform tunnel as well as open-air sections. By using the advantages of VPE to compensate for the limitations of RT and vice versa, this hybrid model ensures improved accuracy and computational savings. Numerical results are validated with experimental measurements in various railway scenarios, including an actual deployment site of communication-based train control (CBTC) systems.

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 it
