UtiP-DAM

Understanding how people move around is crucial for everyone—governments planning for climate change, companies building better city experiences, and healthcare officials tracking disease outbreaks. But there’s a catch: tracking individuals raises serious privacy concerns.

The problem? Simply blurring names isn’t enough to protect an individual’s privacy, as their movement patterns alone can reveal their identity. The classic centralized approach, where individuals must trust a single entity with their data, no longer works. A new system is needed—one where privacy and empowerment go hand in hand.

That’s where the UtiP-DAM project comes in: it implements a decentralized method for anonymizing mobility data, ensuring anonymization happens where the data is collected, rather than by a central entity. But there’s more! UtiP-DAM provides anonymization verification tools that allow individuals to check if their mobility data has been distributed in public datasets, and it offers tools for organizations to audit their datasets for de-anonymization risks and re-anonymize them using the UtiP-DAM algorithm.

In short, UtiP-DAM empowers individuals and organizations to contribute to mobility research without sacrificing privacy. It’s like having your cake and eating it too—gaining valuable insights for better cities while preserving the freedom to move without a trace.
