The published framework enforces hard feasibility constraints through this separate verification layer, while the language model itself is instructed to follow softer reasoning principles.

The study arrives amid a rapidly growing body of work applying large language models to transportation.

Large language models are computationally expensive, and the paper does not claim to have resolved every challenge of latency and cost at massive fleet scale.
