1. A method of interfacing with a device and a vehicle operating on a local vehicle operations travelway during a peer-to-peer data exchange message sequence between the device and the vehicle to control and authenticate which vehicles operate on the local vehicle operations travelway, wherein the method is performed by a processor and a memory, wherein instructions for causing the processor to perform the method are embodied with the memory, the method comprising:
prior to the peer-to-peer data exchange message sequence, establishing system rules for the vehicle operating on the local vehicle operations travelway;
issuing to each of the device and the vehicle operating on the local vehicle operations travelway, a certificate that is cryptographically signed;
authorizing the device, by a centralized hub, to establish an authorized device to transmit an advertisement to the vehicle, wherein the advertisement includes a request for the vehicle to identify itself during the peer-to-peer data exchange message sequence;
issuing, by the centralized hub, to the authorized device, the certificate that is cryptographically signed, such that the advertisement transmitted by the authorized device includes the certificate;
