Large Language Model-Assisted Preparation of Transportation Management Plans: A Case Study with WisDOT WisTMP System

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.10650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Work zones are critical yet hazardous components of transportation infrastructure, requiring carefully designed Transportation Management Plans (TMPs) to ensure safety and mobility. However, TMP preparation remains labor-intensive and heavily dependent on practitioner expertise. This paper proposes a Large Language Model (LLM)-assisted framework to automate TMP content generation, leveraging the WisDOT WisTMP system as the application context. The framework fine-tunes multiple open-source LLMs across different model scales and deploys them locally to ensure data security. To support model training, we construct a domain-specific dataset from historical WisTMP documents by converting PDF files into structured question-answer pairs in JSON form
