The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how crucial it is to control people's movement if we want to contain the virus's spread. Project Professor Yoshihide Sekimoto of the UTokyo-IIS, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS), is pursuing an ambitious project using samples of recorded data to create pseudodata on how people move around the whole of Japan. The use of the data will circumvent lengthy, cumbersome processes to clear privacy issues related to sharing data, including those from the global positioning system (GPS) collected by mobile carriers.
