Traffic Operation Improvements at the Pembina-Emerson Port of Entry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although bi-national mechanisms for improved infrastructure coordination at ports of entry (POE's) have recently emerged between Canada and the United States, the Pembina-Emerson POE was modernized in the late 1990's prior to these new collaborative processes. As a result of these less-than-desirably coordinated improvements, a number of traffic operation and related safety issues emerged almost immediately upon completion of the new POE facilities. In addition to the impact upon port efficiency and throughput, these issues also have broader safety and security consequences. Although a bi-national project team was undertaking a long-range planning study to address POE requirements to the year 2035, there was an opportunity for Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation to implement a cost effective series of immediate improvements for the southbound (SB) direction of travel that would not preclude any long-range planning initiatives. These improvements reflected improved advance notification, vehicle channelization and lane assignment strategies, as well as access management improvements at the existing duty free facility. These improvements were designed and constructed within a three year period for minimal cost and were expected to improve SB traffic operation and overall border plaza safety for a period of 5-10 years. These immediate SB improvements would be sufficient to address traffic operations at the POE until such time as the long-term improvements recommended in the POE concept plan were implemented. The SB improvements included as assessment of lessons learned regarding the modification of driver behaviour and regarding driver compliance with channelization and lane assignment strategies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
