- This paper presents a case study that resulted in the practical implementation of an automatic windshield wiper control system. The system operates based on an intelligent control algorithm that considers the amount of raindrops on the windshield surface and the speed of the vehicle, so that the time period between two successive actuations of the system, as well as the rotation speed and implicitly the duration of the arm travel, are dynamically adjusted. The proposed control scheme is based on information received from the rain sensor and the potentiometer that simulates the speed of the car. Due to the use of a DC motor with reversible direction, this approach represents an alternative to the classical windshield wiper systems, and it has certain advantages, including reduced weight and mechanical complexity (fewer components), silent operation and an improved level of assembly reliability.
