Abstract :
Searching for witnesses in case of road accidents is a challenging task for the police and involved persons. In this paper, we propose a mechanism that helps to find witnesses. Our solution preserves the potential witnesses´ anonymity and gives them a free hand to decide whether to step forward as a witness or not. We analyze the performance of our application using a realistic model of a German city.
