Laboratoire canadien de recherche ferroviaire : Résumé des résultats du plan de recherche annuel 2023-2024
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This report provides the summary of results for the research projects carried out by the Canadian Rail Research Laboratory (CaRRL) for fiscal year 2023-2024. The projects include: • Detailed Quantitative Model for Rail Transport of Dangerous Goods (DG): This project developed a detailed, practicable model to quantitatively estimate the risk for rail transport of DG. Fault Tree Analyses (FTA) and Event Tree Analyses (ETA) process model were developed for rail transport operations. • Ground Hazard Risk Evolution with Climate Change: This project evaluated the ground hazard weather triggers and mechanisms through morphological and probabilistic approaches to quantify their relationship with weather and extrapolated the ground hazard frequency utilizing the climatic projections for Canada. • Wildfire Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment: This project aims to develop an automated framework to assess the wildfire-related risks to railway infrastructure. • The Resilience of the Railway Network: This project aims to improve the resilience of the railway network in the context of natural and human-induced disasters. • Fundamental Steel Behaviour and Properties: This project aims to develop a database of rail material properties from both in-service rail and broken rail to identify potential presence of transverse cracking. • Human Factors of Trespassing and Grade Crossings: This study will identify the most significant causal factors contributing to high-way railroad grade crossings (HRGC) crashes, such as visibility, season, type of vehicle, and driver actions, which were not included in any other studies for HRGC crashes in Canada.
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
