Differentially Private Release of Public Transport Data: The Opal Use Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes the application of a differentially private algorithm to release public transport usage data from Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW), Australia. The data consists of two separate weeks of “tap-on/tap-off” data of individuals who used any of the four different modes of public transport from TfNSW: buses, light rail, train and ferries. These taps are recorded through the smart ticketing system, known as Opal, available in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

متن کاملA Minimax Distortion View of Differentially Private Query Release
We consider the problem of differentially private query release through the synthetic database ap-proach. Departing from the existing approaches that guarantee the accuracy for queries in a specificquery set only, we advocate a minimax distortion approach where query-set independent differentiallyprivate mechanisms are devised, with an ambitious goal of providing accurate answer...
