Abstract
A vehicle communication device for using a plurality of applications in an inter-vehicle communication, and performing a control to avoid congestion of its own vehicle and the other vehicles. There is a vehicle communication device including a plurality of application units for performing the inter-vehicle communication, a lower protocol unit for transmitting and receiving data between vehicles, and a middleware unit intervening between said application units and the lower protocol unit. The middleware unit includes a transfer service processing unit, a communication control service unit, and a transmission/reception control processing unit. The communication control service unit controls a congestion avoiding process of its own vehicle and other vehicles based on application priority received for each of the application units, priority for each vehicle, and channel usage rate obtained from the lower protocol unit.
