Privacy-Aware Distributed Mobility Choice Modelling over Blockchain

Cryptography and Security 2019-08-13 v2 Econometrics

Abstract

A generalized distributed tool for mobility choice modelling is presented, where participants do not share personal raw data, while all computations are done locally. Participants use Blockchain based Smart Mobility Data-market (BSMD), where all transactions are secure and private. Nodes in blockchain can transact information with other participants as long as both parties agree to the transaction rules issued by the owner of the data. A case study is presented where a mode choice model is distributed and estimated over BSMD. As an example, the parameter estimation problem is solved on a distributed version of simulated annealing. It is demonstrated that the estimated model parameters are consistent and reproducible.
