The rules of a shared road-state

AnTIE is a specification and a founding gateway, staged toward a national traffic-data exchange. As of this writing it is in formation: the fusion and density maths are measured on a live production stack, but no member council is chartered, no external member is signed, and no fused national feed is operated. These terms describe the intended rules of participation, not a live commercial contract, and they should be read as a proposal until an agreement is executed with the co-owned entity.

Pull quality is a deterministic function of contribution. A member that pushes streams real-time fused state; a member that stops pushing degrades live → delayed → coarsened, gradually and transparently — never a silent hard cliff. Your tier is published on handshake and is auditable by every other member, so no one is quietly privileged above the rules they can see.

Members agree to push only pseudonymous, coarsened observations: no raw trajectories, no device ids, no phone numbers, no vehicle plates, no personal data of any driver or pedestrian. The schema rejects such fields by design, but submitting them deliberately — or attempting to re-identify anyone from pooled output — is a material breach and grounds for removal by the member council.

Fused output carries a share-alike national-data-commons licence. It exists to prevent any member — including the founding contributor — from enclosing the pool or claiming exclusive rights over aggregate road state built from everyone’s contributions. You may build products on top of the state; you may not take the state itself private.

Live segment state is a statistical consensus, offered without warranty of completeness or fitness for a particular routing decision. Below the k-anonymity floor a segment reads unknown on purpose — an honest silence is safer than a fabricated colour. You are responsible for how you and your users act on any state the exchange returns.

The shared channel is traffic state only — never pricing, user bases, fleet composition or strategy. Access is open, fair and proportional, with per-member firewalls and recorded council decisions, and the structure is designed for Competition Act 2010 sign-off. Governance is one-member-one-voice; the reference code and registry live in a neutral open-source home with no founder veto.

These terms, and any participation agreement built on them, are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Questions about the proposal, a pilot, or a seat at the founding table go to antie@antrex.app or the Antrex contact desk at antrex.app/contact.
