Abstract: Vehicle trajectory data is essential for traffic management and location-based services. However, the release of trajectories raises serious privacy concerns because they contain sensitive information, such as home addresses and workplaces, etc, making it indispensable to consider privacy protection when releasing trajectory data. It is urgent to reconcile data utility with privacy in trajectory generation calls for advanced methods that adhere to real-world traffic rules. Leveraging serverless computing for deep learning provides an efficient solution, bypassing infrastructure complexities to handle the scale trajectory data. In this paper, a Geo-Piecewise Mechanism Deep Maximum Entropy Inverse Reinforcement Learning (GeoPM-DMEIRL) is proposed for secure trajectory generation, which consists of three key components, namely GeoPM, A2C reinforcement learning and DMEIRL. Firstly, GeoPM is a novel local differential privacy mechanism that incorporates Geo-aware gridding techniques. The Piecewise Mechanism is used to perturb the user trajectory while ensuring that the perturbed trajectory conforms to real-world traffic rules. Secondly, an A2C reinforcement learning network is refined to train the optimal trajectory generation strategy. Thirdly, Deep Maximum Entropy Inverse Reinforcement Learning is improved to train the weights of the A2C reward function. Finally, real-world data are collected in the experiments and the serverless computing platform AWS Lambda is used for training the reinforcement learning models. Experimental results show that our proposed GeoPM-DMEIRL framework can effectively resist user re-identification attacks, which can improve the utility by an average of 54.605% and enhance the privacy by an average of 30.678%. Meanwhile, GeoPM-DMEIRL is able to maintain the utility of the data while protecting the privacy of the user's trajectories. • Geo-aware Piecewise Mechanism (GeoPM) is designed to protect the privacy of users' original trajectories stored in AWS S3 buckets. • The Advantage Actor–Critic (A2C) reinforcement learning network is adopted for trajectory generation. • The DMEIRL algorithm is improved to fit the reward function based on the expert demonstration trajectories. • Experiments were conducted on GeoPM-DMEIRL using real-world datasets on the serverless platform of AWS Lambda.
