Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Five quantitative relationships relating some geometric features of two-lane rural highways to accident rates were reported in Special Report 214 of the Transportation Research Board. In this study, three of these models were applied to data from several two-lane sections of two rural highways in the province of British Columbia. The models were used to predict accident rates in the road sections for the five-year period covering 1981 to 1985. The R² values resulting from linear regression analyses of the predicted accident rates on the actual accident rates were used as a measure of the applicability of the models to the study area. The results of this study are valuable for conducting an extensive road safety study on two-lane rural highways in British Columbia, primarily, and other regions of the world.

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.
