The application discloses an
information transmission method and an apparatus applied to a vehicle terminal, and is applied to an MCU or an MIPS arranged in the vehicle terminal. The method includes: firstly, to-be-transmitted information is obtained; according to the to-be-transmitted information, a corresponding message is generated, a header of the message includes N bytes, N is smaller than M, and M refers to the
byte length of the header in an
MODBUS communication protocol; and the message is then transmitted. According to the method, the capacity of the transmitted message is reduced, and bandwidth resources can be saved. In particular, the frequency of
information transmission between the MCU and the MIPS is high and can usually reach the
millisecond level, and much information can be transmitted so that a lot of bandwidth resources can be saved.
