Vehicle control system and method

A system comprising:

• a controller configured to:
• examine a route parameter and a vehicle parameter to determine whether one or both of a route or a vehicle system are physically damaged;
• receive interface information associated with one or more interfaces used to communicate with one or more components of the vehicle system;
• receive application information associated with one or more applications configured to receive information from the one or more components of the vehicle system via the one or more interfaces;
• store, based on the interface information and the application information, registration information that indicates whether the one or more applications are permitted to communicate via the one or more interfaces;
• receive, from an application of the one or more applications, a request for vehicle information from an interface of the one or more interfaces;
• verify whether the application is permitted to communicate via the interface;
• and
• selectively route the request for the vehicle information to the interface based on verifying whether the application is permitted to communicate via the interface.
