Abstract

Communication equipment that received transfer data including data to be transferred, position information of a destination of the data to be transferred, position information of relay points used to determine a route to the destination, and position information of a last transferring vehicle determines a standby time that becomes shorter as a distance between the position of the last transferring vehicle and the position of a host vehicle becomes longer in the case where the host vehicle is not located in a predetermined range on the basis of the relay points. In addition, the communication equipment determines the standby time that becomes longer as a distance between the position of the host vehicle and the position of the relay point becomes longer in the case where the host vehicle is located in the predetermined range, and performs a process of transmitting the transfer data after the standby time passes.
