• Authors: Guillermo Baltra, Basileal Imana, Wuxuan Jiang and Aleksandra Korolova
• Abstract summary: The Los Angeles Department of Transportation has put forth a specification that requests detailed data on scooter usage from scooter companies. We argue that L.A.'s data request for using a new specification is not warranted as proposed use cases can be met by already existing specifications. We propose an algorithm that enables formal privacy and utility guarantees when publishing parked scooters data.

• Abstract: E-Scooters are changing transportation habits. In an attempt to oversee scooter usage, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation has put forth a specification that requests detailed data on scooter usage from scooter companies. In this work, we first argue that L.A.'s data request for using a new specification is not warranted as proposed use cases can be met by already existing specifications. Second, we show that even the existing specification, that requires companies to publish real-time data of parked scooters, puts the privacy of individuals using the scooters at risk. We then propose an algorithm that enables formal privacy and utility guarantees when publishing parked scooters data, allowing city authorities to meet their use cases while preserving riders' privacy.

  Vehicle rebalancing application uses the GPS location data of the vehicles periodically to determine the vehicle(s) to be moved to a different charging station for rebalancing. A malicious attacker residing in the network can spoof the GPS location data packets of the target vehicle(s) resulting in misinterpretation of the location of the vehicle(s) We propose a location tracking technique that can validate the current location of a vehicle based on its previous location and roadmaps.

  This paper characterizes the impact of Differential Privacy on bias and unfairness in the context of releasing information about networks. We consider a network release problem where the network structure is known to all, but the weights on edges must be released privately. Our work provides theoretical foundations and empirical evidence into the bias and unfairness arising due to privacy in these networked decision problems.

  We employ a combination of methods that analyse both spatial and temporal characteristics related to e-scooter trips. Population density is the topmost important feature, and it associates with e-scooter usage positively. We found that the effect of humidity is more important than precipitation in predicting hourly e-scooter trip count.

E-scooters come with challenges in city management, such as traffic rules, public safety, parking regulations, and liability issues. This paper is the first large-scale systematic study on shared e-scooters using big social data.

  We propose a new location privacy notion called PGLP, which provides a rich interface to release private locations with customizable and rigorous privacy guarantee. Specifically, we formalize a user's location privacy requirements using a textitlocation policy graph, which is expressive and customizable. Third, we design a private location trace release framework that pipelines the detection of location exposure, policy graph repair, and private trajectory release with customizable and rigorous location privacy.
