Whether planning a train journey or navigating on the motorway, users of mobility services leave data behind. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is a member of the competence cluster Anonymisation for Networked Mobility Systems (ANYMOS), which focuses on how researchers can collect and use this data while guaranteeing the anonymity of the users. Together with TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum, the consortium is offering insights into its research at Karlsruhe's Kronenplatz from 5 to 9 November 2024: in lectures, discussion rounds, hands-on activities and a programme for schoolchildren. Admission to all Knowledge Week events is free.
Data from users of mobility systems is particularly important for their providers, for example to adapt services to demand. At the same time, the data should be processed in a secure and transparent way. The relationship between data collection and anonymisation is one of the topics that ANYMOS wants to present to the visitors of the Knowledge Week.
About the ANYMOS competence cluster
The long-term goal of the ANYMOS researchers is to reduce uncertainties regarding data protection regulations when sharing and using data and to advance Germany in the areas of automotive and public transport in the field of data-driven innovations. To this end, the scientists want to identify the needs and possibilities of anonymisation in the field of mobility, select suitable anonymisation methods accordingly and apply them correctly.
The knowledge week is being organised by TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum together with KIT, AVL Deutschland GmbH, DResearch Fahrzeugelektronik GmbH, Fraunhofer IOSB, Fraunhofer ISI, FZI Research Center for Information Technology, INIT GmbH, and Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund GmbH. The ANYMOS project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research until 2025 and financed by the European Union NextGenerationEU.
Being “The Research University in the Helmholtz Association”, KIT creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. It is the objective to make significant contributions to the global challenges in the fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 10,000 employees cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in natural sciences, engineering sciences, economics, and the humanities and social sciences. KIT prepares its 22,800 students for responsible tasks in society, industry, and science by offering research-based study programs. Innovation efforts at KIT build a bridge between important scientific findings and their application for the benefit of society, economic prosperity, and the preservation of our natural basis of life. KIT is one of the German universities of excellence.
