Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article's emphasis is on the importance of training in the fleet maintenance to increase uptime and safety while reducing costs. It uses as an example of training justification a best practices case from Edmonton, Alberta transit system. The training manager of Edmonton noted the rising diesel fuel bills even though the system's new buses are much more fuel efficient than the older ones. The determination was that the weak links in achieving fuel savings were the people operating the buses. The article describes a fuel conservation program developed for the Edmonton system. The program, FuelSense, is based on an electronic control module that collects fuel consumption data, and based on the information collected, a successful training program was developed for professional drivers that actually changed their driving behavior. After the program was completed, the average savings over the following year were 10%, reducing the fleet's fuel bill by almost $1 million, and one particular driver lowered consumption by 28%.

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.
