Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article describes need for pre-project publicity and community input when major road closures or detours are planned. Computer visualizations of finished project was used in a Wisconsin repaving job, as well as various photomontages displayed in public information meetings. Project Web sites, updated at least once a week, are useful in highly compact urban areas. One county highway rebuilding saw the number of calls and complaints significantly reduced from expected volumes when a Web site was used to post updates and schedules. Signs that changed to reflect changing access conditions helped local businesses keep their customers apprised of routes to their stores when roadwork was under way. It is also important to maintain safe separations when streets are combined and closed. Remote-control robotic flagmen are being used in Ontario, Canada, and the technology is being tested for possible inclusion in the MUTCD.

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.
