Abstract:

Trajectory data publication may leak user’s privacy. This paper proposes an approach to protect trajectory privacy through generalization of stay points over road network based on Voronoi diagram. According to the characteristics of Voronoi diagram, the proposed approach can ensure the diversity of road segments. Because of the difference of the partitioned region area and the difference of the number of points of interest, the approach further optimizes the Voronoi regions to satisfy (k,l,s) anonymity. In addition, the approach generalizes or suppresses those stay points according to the regions they belong to, and realizes personalized privacy protection further by identifying the significant stay points on trajectories. The experiment on Brinkhoff generator shows the information loss of the proposed approach is smaller than other approaches under the same privacy security condition.

Key words: road network, trajectory privacy preserving, stay points, Voronoi diagram
