Abstract
Variable Message Signs (VMS) are becoming more and more common on Quebec roads. It was decided that current practices needed to be studied, evaluated and improved in order to ensure the consistency of messages transmitted to users. A research project to that effect was carried out by a team at the Universite de Montreal,under the supervision of the ministere des Transports du Quebec (MTQ). The project was completed in the summer of 2005. With the submission of the final report, a working group of Ministry experts in the use of VMS was given the task of making recommendations for provincial standards based on the findings presented. The following points were addressed: type of VMS to be used-display characteristics and dimensions; regulations for placement and installation; regulations and guidelines for message prioritization; message content-i.e. terminology for different circumstances (traffic congestion, construction, weather conditions, etc.); various examples of uses of the main terms on different sizes of VMS; a series of pictograms designed especially for VMS. For the covering abstarct of this conference see ITRD number E216511.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
