Intelligent transportation systems necessitate a fine-grained and accurate estimation of vehicular traffic flows across critical paths of the underlying road network. However, such statistics should be collected in a manner that does not disclose the trajectories of individual users. To this end, we introduce a privacy-preserving protocol that leverages roadside units (RSUs) to communicate with the passing vehicles, in order to construct encrypted Bloom filters stemming from random vehicle IDs that are chosen secretly by the individual vehicles. Each Bloom filter represents the set of vehicle IDs that contacted the RSU but may also be used to estimate the traffic flow between any number of RSUs. More precisely, we designed a probabilistic model that approximates multipoint traffic flows by estimating the number of common vehicles among a given set of RSUs. Through extensive simulation experiments, we demonstrate that our protocol is very accurate-with a minor deviation from the real traffic flow- and show that it reduces the estimation error by a large factor, when compared to the current state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, our implementation of the underlying cryptographic primitives illustrates the feasibility, practicality, and scalability of the system. |
