Positional data utilizing inter-vehicle communication method and traveling control apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling the traveling of a first vehicle according to traveling data of the first vehicle and traveling data of a second vehicle obtained through inter-vehicle communication, comprising:
- an evaluating section for evaluating a possibility of a collision between the vehicles based on said traveling data of the first and second vehicles;
a priority determining section for determining a priority of the first vehicle and the second vehicle when there is a possibility of a collision; and
a controlling section for executing an avoidance operation of the first vehicle based on said priority.

Abstract
Predicted future positions are calculated (S11) and arranged into packets (S12) to be transmitted using a communication pattern (for example, a PN series) based on a time and a position of each packet (S13). Another vehicle calculates its predicted position (S21) and generates a communication pattern based on a result of calculation (S22) so that the generated communication pattern is utilized for reception (S23). Consequently, data associated with a future position of its own can be selected for enabling reception. An existence probability is calculated, and the state of another vehicle can be accurately understood from the communication of the calculated existence probability, thereby effectively reducing chance of collision.
