Ridesharing services, such as Uber or Didi, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their positive impact on environmental protection and the economy. Existing studies require quick responses to orders, which lack the…
We consider the problem of storing data in a distributed manner over $T$ servers. We require the data (i) to be recoverable from the $T$ servers, and (ii) to remain private from any $T-1$ colluding servers, where privacy is quantified in…
Todays ride sharing services still mimic a better billboard. They list the offers and allow to search for the source and target city, sometimes enriched with radial search. So finding a connection between big cities is quite easy. These…
Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…
With the development of electric vehicles, more and more electric vehicles have difficulties in parking and charging. One of the reasons is that the number of charging piles is difficult to support the energy supply of electric vehicles,…
Anonymity systems such as Tor aim to enable users to communicate in a manner that is untraceable by adversaries that control a small number of machines. To provide efficient service to users, these anonymity systems make full use of…
This paper offers a new privacy approach for the growing ecosystem of services -- ranging from open banking to healthcare -- dependent on sensitive personal data sharing between individuals and third parties. While these services offer…
Logistic regression is an algorithm widely used for binary classification in various real-world applications such as fraud detection, medical diagnosis, and recommendation systems. However, training a logistic regression model with data…
We introduce PRISM (Pathfinding with Rapid Information Sharing using Motion Constraints), a decentralized algorithm designed to address the multi-task multi-agent pathfinding (MT-MAPF) problem. PRISM enables large teams of agents to…
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology aimed at eficiently identifying and tracking goods and assets. Such identification may be performed without requiring line-of-sight alignment or physical contact between the RFID tag and…
User trajectory data is becoming increasingly accessible due to the prevalence of GPS-equipped devices such as smartphones. Many existing studies focus on querying trajectories that are similar to each other in their entirety. We observe…
When it comes to location-based services (LBS), user privacy protection can be in conflict with security of both users and trips. While LBS providers could adopt privacy preservation mechanisms to obfuscate customer data, the accuracy of…
Innovative shared mobility services provide on-demand flexible mobility options and have the potential to alleviate traffic congestion. These attractive services are challenging from different perspectives. One major challenge in such…
In recent years, ridesharing platforms have become a prominent mode of transportation for the residents of urban areas. As a fundamental problem, route recommendation for these platforms is vital for their sustenance. The works done in this…
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is revolutionizing the transportation industry by offering convenient, efficient and integrated transportation solutions. However, the extensive use of user data as well as the integration of multiple service…
Traffic inspection is a fundamental building block of many security solutions today. For example, to prevent the leakage or exfiltration of confidential insider information, as well as to block malicious traffic from entering the network,…
Urban mobility needs alternative sustainable travel modes to keep our pandemic cities in motion. Ride-pooling, where a single vehicle is shared by more than one traveller, is not only appealing for mobility platforms and their travellers,…
While conventional shared demand-responsive transportation (SDRT) systems mostly operate on a door-to-door policy, the usage of meeting points for the pick-up and drop-off of user groups can offer several advantages, like fewer stops and…
With increasing use of mobile devices, photo sharing services are experiencing greater popularity. Aside from providing storage, photo sharing services enable bandwidth-efficient downloads to mobile devices by performing server-side image…
