Traffic Voting System to Achieve the Balance Between Privacy and Trip Chain Data Acquisition

In this era of big data, the conflict between data acquisition and privacy protection has attracted great attention. This paper proposes a Traffic Voting System (TVS) to help collect trip chain data and encourage travelers to share their information voluntarily. Travelers in the TVS will probably choose to share their travel information in exchange of less waiting time, as is proved by game theories. Trip chain data are collected by the TVS and this type of data is quite useful in traffic design and management. A comparison of TVS and other two similar systems is introduced in this paper. It is illustrated that the TVS is a traveler-centric system and is robust to deal with many complex situations in the traffic system.
