Abstract: An in-vehicle relay device used in an in-vehicle network to which a first in-vehicle device and a second in-vehicle device are connected in a communicable way includes: a receiving unit configured to receive first data from the first in-vehicle device; a forwarding unit configured to forward the first data to the second in-vehicle device; and a correction unit configured to correct a sending time at which the first in-vehicle device is to send data, based on a difference between a first receiving time and a first defined receiving time, the first receiving time being a time at which the first data is received by the receiving unit, the first defined receiving time being a time defined for the first data to be received by the receiving unit.

Abstract: In an on-vehicle system, on-vehicle device and gateway are connected via a first network, and the gateway and relay are connected via a second network. The relay performs open-close control of a gate, using a TAS standard of Ethernet TSN. The gateway receives first and second packets including given data, generates a third packet including the first and second packets, and sends the third packets at the transmission timing that is a timing the gate is placed in from closed state to open state to the relay. The relay receives the third packet from the gateway. The relay switches timing to transfer data, for each type of data, and transfer the third packet to the other relay, during a period in which the gate for the type of data is in an open state.
