Communication device for a movable body
First Claim
1. A communication device for a movable body mounted to each of movable bodies for exchanging information among the movable bodies comprising:
- a surrounding detecting means for detecting a surrounding of the movable body;
an appropriateness of relay determining means for determining an appropriateness of relay on the basis of the result detected by the surrounding detecting means;
a first transmitting process means for transmitting a first signal including information indicating a condition of the movable body and the result determined by the appropriateness of relay determining means;
a first receiving process means for receiving the first signal sent by the first transmitting process means and memorizing the first signal in a memorizing means;
a second transmitting process means for determining whether or not the relay is required on the basis of the first signal memorized in the memorizing means, and transmitting a second signal including information of a movable body assigned to be requested to relay the signal; and
a second receiving process means for receiving the second signal sent by the second transmitting process means in order to determine whether or not the relay request exists, and relaying the signal to the movable body assigned to be requested to relay the signal.
