Abstract
There is provided a communication apparatus and a communication system that reduces communication interference in inter-vehicle communication by considering the emergency degree of the environment around a vehicle and the accident incidence rate in each traveling scene and that raises the communication quality of high-emergency-degree data. The communication apparatus has a communication unit that has a power setting unit and performs inter-vehicle communication and a control unit that has a vehicle information acquisition unit for acquiring vehicle information and a reference vehicle position estimation unit for estimating the present position of a reference vehicle and controls the communication unit; when high-emergency-degree information of the reference vehicle is transmitted by use of vehicle information, the control unit controls the communication unit in such away that transmission is performed with increased transmission power.
