4 data sets, based on 5 months of CDR, from Dec 2011 to April 2012
4 data sets, based on 5 months of CDR, from Dec 2011 to April 2012
Dynamic Population densities by volumes of all calls per hour between all antennas
Geographic mobility of anonymous client samples over the whole period
Coarse trajectories (prefectures levels) of a 10% client sample
Fine trajectories (blurred antenna levels) of a biweekly 10% client sample
2 degrees social communication graphs of an anonymous week by week 1% client random sample
Highly anonymised, running pre-release tests to further secure privacy risks
The dataset where provided to 2 “Friendly Test teams” who tried to “Hack” them
University Pierre et Marie Curie, University of Cambridge
Results of attempts where taken into account to further the anonymisation
Controlled access to the data set ensured alignment with the project goals
Release of data sets to researcher, required a project submission to the D4D Challenge and the signature of Terms & Condition’s controlling the use of data and the publication of results
