A method of reducing channel utilization in a vehicle communication network is disclosed. The method includes a step of reducing the transmitting power of messages sent over the vehicle communication network when channel saturation occurs. The method also includes a step of increasing the transmitting period of messages sent over the vehicle communication network when channel saturation occurs. The method further includes steps of modifying the transmitting power and transmitting period of messages according to vehicle speed.
