Abstract:
A TCU includes: a wide-area communication section that performs wireless communication with a base station; a short-range communication section that performs wireless communication with an access point; a vehicle-to-vehicle communication section that performs wireless communication with a relay vehicle; and a communication control section that transmits upload data by using any one of the wide-area communication section, the short-range communication section, and the vehicle-to-vehicle communication section, wherein the communication control section transmits the upload data more preferentially by using the short-range communication section or the vehicle-to-vehicle communication section than by using the wide-area communication section when an upload deferment condition is met, and transmits the upload data more preferentially by using the wide-area communication section than by using the short-range communication section and the vehicle-to-vehicle communication section when the upload deferment condition is not met.
