Abstract
In this paper, a damage identification framework for steel-truss railroad bridges, based on acceleration responses to operational train loading, is presented. The method is based on vertical and longitudinal sensor clustering–based time-series analysis of the operational acceleration response of bridges to the passage of trains. The results are presented in terms of damage features extracted from each sensor, which were obtained by comparing actual acceleration responses from the sensors to the predicted responses from the time-series model. Bridge damage was detected by observing changes in the damage features of the bridges as structural changes occurred in the bridges. The relative severity of damage was quantitatively assessed by observing the magnitude of the changes in the damage features. A finite-element model of a steel-truss railroad bridge was utilized to verify the method. Continuous condition assessment of railway bridges in this manner is deemed very valuable for the early detection of damage and, therefore, for increasing the safety and operational reliability of railway networks.

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 it
