Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For a number of years now, the Borough of Saint-Laurent has aimed at becoming families' choice location for their home environment. This objective is reflected in its Family Policy, its Local Transportation Plan, and its its Local Sustainable Development Plan for 2011-2015. The actions it has taken over the past few years have proven successful, and consequently, in Statistics Canada's 2011 census, Saint-Laurent was named a leader in Montreal's demographic growth, with a rate of 10.6%, compared to 1.8% for the City as a whole. Saint-Laurent therefore has many young families on its territory, with 14-year-olds and under even representing 18% of its population. In addition, with its central geographic location, Saint-Laurent is subject to considerable traffic (the population and the 100,000 or so workers on its territory daily generate 400,000 trips, connecting with Saint-Laurent, all means of transportation combined—including 80,000 during morning rush hours, coming from the island. Its 43-kilometre territory boasts a major industrial sector. More precisely, the Borough consists of nearly 380 km of roads to maintain, including a number of major arteries of the City of Montreal (autoroutes 13, 15, 40). In addition to regular maintenance of the public roadways in winter, its snow clearance crews carry out an average of six big snow loading operations per year, representing a challenge to the safety of both pedestrians and motorists alike. Furthermore, there are some almost non-stop operations, such as spreading abrasives. Some vehicles—salt spreaders for example—may be used more than 2,000 hours during the season. Added to all this, over the past few winter seasons, there was a lot of ice, increasing the risk of pedestrians falling. Installing lateral protection (side guards) is therefore intended as a very efficient, effective precaution that has the advantage of being economical as well. And lastly, Saint-Laurent's Administration must ensure that the public roadways are shared equally and safely.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
