Abstract
Transportation agencies considering the deployment of technology devices to support either operations or maintenance activities often must perform cost/benefit analyses during the planning and design phase. While the costs of these devices are easily quantified, it is often difficult to assign dollar value equivalents to the benefits of such devices. The ENTERPRISE Pooled Fund Study ‘Warrants Project’ has investigated the concept of warrants to determine whether technology devices (specifically ITS devices) should be considered for deployment at specific locations. This project was a pilot study to explore the feasibility of warrants for technology devices. Six state departments of transportation (DOTs), one Canadian province, and the Dutch DOT have participated in development and testing of these warrants. This paper summarizes the testing results and the concept for ongoing use of the warrants.

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
