Authorizing Center Subsystem
         Definition:
The 'Authorizing Center' provides the functionality needed to enable data exchange between and among mobile and fixed transportation users.  Its primary mission is to enable safety, mobility and environmental communications-based applications for both mobile and non-mobile users.   The Authorizing Center has some jurisdiction over limited access resources; typically this includes roadside application access and radio spectrum licensing. It may be implemented as an autonomous center or as a set of supporting services that are co-located within another center.
