This on-vehicle communication system is an on-vehicle communication system including one or a plurality of switch devices each configured to relay data between a plurality of function units mounted to a vehicle. The on-vehicle communication system includes: a detection unit configured to detect an abnormality regarding a function unit; and a change unit configured to, when an abnormality has been detected by the detection unit, perform a protocol change process of causing the function unit for which the abnormality has been detected, to change a protocol that is used.

On-vehicle communication system, switch device, communication control method, and communication control program

In a relay device, a control unit detects simultaneous transmission of a plurality of data through a first communication bus. When the number of times of detection of the simultaneous transmission within a predetermined time by the control unit is less than the predetermined number of times, a CAN communication unit starts transmission of data through the first communication bus. When the number of times of detection of the simultaneous transmission within the predetermined time by the control unit is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times, an Ethernet communication unit transmits data through a first communication line.

A switch device includes: a plurality of communication ports; a switch unit configured to relay a frame, which has been transmitted from a function unit and to which information including an ID of a VLAN and priority information is added, to another function unit via a communication port, according to the priority information; and a duplication unit configured to, when the diagnosis device is connected to another switch device, duplicate the frame to be relayed via a designated communication port, thereby generating a duplicate frame for diagnosis. The duplication unit is able to set the priority information to be added to the duplicate frame for diagnosis, separately from the priority information to be added to the frame as an original. The switch unit outputs the duplicate frame for diagnosis, from a communication port corresponding to the other switch device, according to the priority information set by the duplication unit.

Switch device, communication control method, and communication control program

In a relay device, a communication unit receives a data frame transmitted cyclically through a communication line. A control unit stores, in a temporary storage unit, the data frame received by the communication unit. When the data frame stored in the temporary storage unit is transmitted, the control unit deletes the transmitted data frame from the temporary storage unit. When the control unit determines that, for the data frame received through the communication line, the amount of data relevant to the data frames stored in the temporary storage unit is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the communication unit transmits, through the communication line, a cycle change frame which gives an instruction to change a transmission cycle for transmitting the data frame to a longer cycle.
