Abstract
In a communication system, ECUs are connected to a bus. A relay apparatus receives data that was transmitted by one of the ECUs via the bus, and determines, based on the content of the reception, whether or not the power supply from a battery to a transmission source that transmitted the data is to be cut off. If the relay apparatus determines that the power supply to the transmission source is to be cut off, the relay apparatus cuts off the power supply from the battery to the transmission source.
