Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 2007, Nova Scotia Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NS TIR) contracted AMEC Earth & Environmental to perform a thermal mapping pilot project. AMEC used infra red sensors on data collection vehicles to develop Thermal Fingerprints for the western half of Trans Canada Highway 104 in Pictou County. Thermal Fingerprints were developed for each of the three classic weather types: Extreme, Intermediate, and Damped. The Night Icing Potential (NIP) prototype was developed as a new operational guidance product for use by winter maintenance operators. NIP uses RWIS forecasts together with Thermal Fingerprints of a roadway to assess the potential for night icing anywhere along the entire length of a roadway. NIP returns the earliest time for the onset of the icing process for each kilometer-long segment of roadway where a night icing potential exists. The product is presented in map form with the icing times plotted along road segments which are also colour-coded according to icing onset time. This project was nominated for the TAC 2007 Road Safety Engineering Award.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
