© 2018 While privacy preservation is important, there are occasions when an individual's privacy should not be preserved (e.g., those involved in the case of a terrorist attack). Existing works do not generally make such a distinction. We posit the importance of classifying an individual's privacy as positive and negative, say in the case of a misbehaving driver (e.g., a driver involved in a hit-and-run or terrorist attack). This will allow us to revoke the right of the misbehaving driver's right to privacy to facilitate investigation. Hence, we propose a heuristic line piloting method, hereafter referred to as HelpMe. Using taxi services as a case study, we explain how the proposed method constantly accumulates the knowledge of taxi routes from related historical GPS datasets using machine-learning techniques. Hence, a taxi deviating from the typical route could be detected in real-time, which may be used to raise an alert (e.g., the taxi may be hijacked by criminals). We also evaluate the utility of our method on real-life GPS datasets.
