Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Visualization based on virtual reality (VR) has gained increasingly wider recognition among transportation engineers and researchers because of advances in computer and VR technologies. The benefits of applying VR in transportation are well documented. However, many technical and financial issues hinder wide acceptance of this new technology in highway engineering design. Therefore, the concept of a custom-built, lightweight visualization system aimed at enhancing highway geometric design processes is developed. Capable of supporting the construction of a three-dimensional (3-D) road surface with accurate geometry and providing vehicle-based navigation with controlled driver perspectives, the visualization system is created by applying open-source VR modeling technology with proven key techniques. A systematic approach was taken to integrate data, create 3-D modules, and implement the visualization system as numerous case studies by using real-world data. The successful implementation proves the design concept, shows great potential for supporting the engineering design process, and opens new opportunities for further development.

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.
