Abstract
This article relates the experiences of the City of Vaughan, Ontario, in using an automatic vehicle location (AVL) system with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to manage its winter maintenance operations. It first reviews the three components that comprise an AVL system: vehicle hardware, communication system, and system software. The article next discusses the monitoring system which allows vehicles to be tracked through the Internet and can be tailored to the viewing capabilities of the different users of the system. A snow call center was also created to accommodate users without access to the Internet. The article also focuses on how the tracking system allows staff to determine if minimum maintenance standards and levels of service were being maintained. In addition, the article describes how the system enabled integrating the computerized salt spreaders with the system, thus providing information to meet the requirements of government- mandated road salt management plans.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
