INTRODUCTION

Background and Rational of the study

This study is being conducted on automotive students at Bukidnon State

University in titled “Development of Wiper System Sensor for Light Vehicle”. This

study is conducting innovation by adding new technology invention. Automotive

practitioners conduct research to install sensors in wipers so that they operate

automatically. The researcher’s goal is to develop a prototype model for the wiper

system sensor for light vehicles to make it easier to explain, exemplify, and

demonstrate the wiper system sensor, and to share this study ideas with all

automotive practitioners, instructors, and car owners in our country as a learning

resource. We, the researchers, will locate materials to construct this new invention to

study, develop, and builds cutting-edge technologies for automatic wiper operation.

Many car manufacturers currently provide vehicles that are technologically

advanced. One of them is Sensors. According to recent polls, automobile sensors are

intelligent sensor which can be used to controlled and process the pressure of oil,

temperature, level of emission, coolant levels and etc. (ELPROCUS, 2006–2021). In an

electrical definition, advanced sensors are used to detect, measure, record, indicate,

or analyze data by humans or machines. In this study, the researchers will look into

what would happens if a sensor is added to a wiper system, as well as the goals,

purposes, benefits, and where it can be use in this study. According to Peter, et al.
(November 2016) that the system is developed to mitigate driving distractions and

allow drivers to focus on their primary task of driving. The distraction eliminated

with the development of this product is the manual adjustment of windshield

wipers when driving in precipitation. The aim of this project is to help reduce

accidents that happen as a result of the driver intending to clean the windscreen

when rain is falling, thereby taking the attention of the driver off the road when he

or she is switching on and off the wiper. On rainy days, we suffer from the act of

sprinkling water on the front glass of our wheeler. While driving, when drivers

cannot see clearly on-road vehicles, they try operating the wiper on the glass

manually, at times switching on and off intermittently, and this distraction might

cause a vehicle accident.

Car wiper systems are fully automated, as opposed to previous decades when

some vehicles used manual systems that required manual intervention. Automatic

wiper system that turns on when rain is detected and turns off when the rain stops.

This study will propose an automated wiper system that will eliminate the need for

a manual system. This sensor detects raindrops and sends them to a microcontroller,

which controls or sends a signal to the wiper system. According to Abhishek et al.

(2011) state that automatic wiper system adjust speed itself based on rainfall shower

intensity. Such as system improves the safety of a ride.

In line with Prof. Sagar G.M et al. (2020) stated that a rain sensor is a

microcontroller and a driver integrated circuit (IC) are the major components used in

the construction and seamless working of the proposed device. Falling water is

quickly and precisely detected by the rain sensor which then transmits the signal to
the second component i.e., microcontroller which in turn energizes the driver IC to

switch the required motion of the wipers on using servo motor. This device converts

a cumbersome manual operation to a smooth automatic one.

Currently, the issue of driver safety has a significant impact on our

automotive industry. By converting the traditional wiper system into an automatic

wiper system, an automatic wiper system improves the driving experience and the

safety factors of a vehicle and its drivers. By removing the focus that drivers would

have to devote to controlling a manual system, an automatic wiper system allows

the drivers to focus more on driving safely. Many attempts have been made at

constructing an effective, reliable, and cheap rain detection and wiper control system

for vehicles. According to Lubna &Avik (2015) assert that automatic rain-sensing

wiper systems are relatively uncommon in modern vehicles for a number of reasons.

They are often too expensive unsightly, or too unreliable to be desired in new

automobiles.

A wiper is typically made up of a metal arm with one end pivoting and the

other end attached to a long rubber blade. KoenenA. & Sanon (2007) the wiping of

the windshield of a car is carried out with the reciprocating motion of a rubber blade

on glass that removes the water from glass. This function is realized by a contact

dimension between the rubber and glass of a few tens of micrometers. A good

wiping is characterized by a homogeneous disposal of the water, without noise

generation and by limiting as much as possible the phenomenon of wear (loss of

wiping or noise presence). The arm is propelled by a motor, which is usually an

electric motor, though pneumatic power is also used in some vehicles. The blade is

swung back and forth across the glass, removing any water, precipitation, or other

obstructions to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles

built after 1969, with numerous continuous speeds and typically one or more

interrupted settings. Many commercial cars employ one or more pantograph arms,

while most personal autos use two synchronized radial-type arms.

Wiper System Sensor will become clear and will be easier to understand. this study

a. This project is focused on Development of Wiper System Sensor for

Light Vehicles, and it excludes any other automobile-related

difficulties.

b. The study is limited on the use of questionnaire, checklist and

c. The researchers concentrate solely on the effectiveness of development

of wiper system sensor for light vehicles. As he most important

material in automotive laboratory.

Each respondent will be given a Google form or a form to fill out in order to

answer all of the questions and secure their information.

Conceptual Framework of the Study

The Input-Process-Output (IPO) Model will provide the general structure and

guide for the direction of study. It has many interdisciplinary applications, and is

used to convey systems fundamentals in Industrial Technology, Overview education

and as a brainstorming, preliminary investigation tool in system development

processes. It consists of at least three, and sometimes four, distinct components. In

contemporary Industrial Technology, it is almost always discussed as a three-

component model.

The conceptual framework that will be used in this study is the Input-Process-

Output Model. In the IPO model, a process is viewed as a series of boxes (processing
 elements) connected by inputs and outputs. Information or material objects flow

through a series of task or activities based on a set of rules or description points

(Harris & Taylor, 1997). Flow charts and process diagrams are often used to

represent the process. What goes in is the input; what causes the change is the

process; what comes out is the output (Armstrong, 2001).

The inputs of the model are information, ideas, resources used are the basis in

creating a project. It includes the project objectives, project background, and project

budget to facilitate the implementation of the project. In this study, the following

variable considered as input, observations, ideas, experiences and materials

The processes of the model are actions taken upon and how to process the

input into a more useful form. It is on this stage where the manipulation of the input

usually happens. It is also an activity, or series of activities, that converts an input to

an output by implementing the project. Processes only exist to add value and to

achieve outputs of the project. This includes the sketching of the design,

development and testing

The outputs of the model are the information flowing out in the project as

results of the processing system. These are the results that provide linkages between

the input (problem situation) and the intended outcomes. Additionally, outputs of

the model are the direct evidence of the project typically tangible and countable.

Outputs are the intended and unintended results and consequences of the activities,

and tend to be categorized into short, medium, and longer terms results. The output

considered the completed prototype and the implementation of the acceptability.

Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of the Study (Adopted and modified from De Asis et.al, 2017)

The sensor and the rain-activated motor are both powered by the battery. When it

rains, the wiper motor turns on automatically. In this project, the sensor is mounted

to the vehicle mirror. The sensor detects rain and sends a control signal to the control

unit. The wiper motor is automatically activated by the control unit. This is referred

to as an automatic wiper system. The amount of rainfall detected by the rain sensor

determines the speed of the auto wiper. When it’s raining hard, the wipers will

move quickly. In moderate rain, wipers will move at a medium speed, whereas in

light rain, wipers will move slowly. The motor system is controlled by the

mechanical function.
Planning and design

This study is being conducted by the researcher for all Automotive students,

instructors, and car owners who own light vehicles. Since automotive students are

studying electrical systems, they will quickly learn what and how to connect a

sensor to the wiper system. They may be able to perform actualization, familiarize

themselves with the parts, and determine the process of the automated wiper

system. In order to teach their students, the instructor will provide supporting ideas

and expertise on how to operate a wiper system sensor using an Arduino UNO. Car

owners will understand how to avoid accidents, especially at night and during the

rainy season. It will help them avoid danger while driving.

RELATED STUDIES/ LITERATURES

This chapter represents the review of related literature and studies from different

sources like books, journals, published and unpublished theses, and other research

engines regarding the topic of the development of the of wiper system sensor for

light vehicles. 

Related literature

The following are few theories and significance of the wiper system sensor

According to the study completed by Tashiro & Shimada (2020 ) The wiper

motor control in this system has to control the reversal angle of the wiper arms to

meet the regulations and prevent collision with the windshield frame. In this paper,

the windshield wiper control that solves the issue is proposed the state feedback

controller is designed by an optimal regulator and the reference governor is

designed based on the principle of model predictive control.

Furthermore, Joshi, et al. (2013) expressed that safety and driver comfort are the

essential goals of new trends in automobile industry. An automatic wiper controller,

helps not only in increasing safety by reducing distractions but also increases the

overall comfort. Such an automatic control is available however it has limitations of

high cost and low efficiency. In this work, we have proposed an automatic wiper

controller, based on resistive rain sensor which is cost effective, efficient and has a

wide range of output. An equivalent electrical and mathematical model of the sensor

is developed, simulated and practically verified. The rain sensor has a

predetermined geometry. Hence the rain water forms a film on the sensor surface

causing its resistance to change non-linearly. To increase the overall efficiency of

system, it is necessary to linearize the sensor response. It is achieved using electrical

equivalent model of the sensor and with appropriate linearization circuit. Further, a

customized embedded system is developed using PIC micro-controller to achieve

motor speed variation based on sensor output. The proposed system is rigorously

tested on a small segment car (Indica V2) for its performance. It is observed that, the

developed system works satisfactorily under various rain scenarios.

According to Naresh (December 2015) stated that the automotive industry has

aggressively researched ways to exploit modern computing and electronic advances

in the development of safety, reliability, and entertainment technologies for vehicles.

With drivers exposed to an ever-increasing number of distractions, automatic rain-

sensing wiper systems become an even more appealing feature, as they work to

minimize the time the driver must take his/her hands off the wheel. Most traditional

systems offer intermittent as well as variable speed operation. The traditional wiper
system however requires driver constant attention in adjusting the wiper speed.

Traditional windshield wiper speed constantly varies according to time and

vehicle’s speed. Because the manual adjustment of the wiper distracts driver's

attention, which may be a direct cause accident. This is review paper for automatic

wiper in various method and also explain the basic skeleton for adjust speed of

wiper automatically cording to the amount of water on the windshield and in

addition with also in advance removal of moisture inside the car while raining. The

system activates the wiper to operate in fully automatic mode and detect moister

using CAN technology

According to Ucar, et al. (2001). Stated that Automotive windshield wiper systems

have three main components, which are wiper arms, connection mechanism and an

electric motor that drives this mechanism. A windshield wiper motor must be

operated when rainsqualls obscure the driver's sight area. Currently, windshield

wiper motor systems are controlled in two different ways: in the first, the driving of

motor is realized with predetermined constant time intervals using time relays.

Secondly, the wiper motor system can also be controlled by the principle based on

the infrared light reflection from the windshield. In this work, a new system is

designed to drive a wiper motor using sensors that detect the wetness and rainsquall

concentration on the windshield. The sensors are located on the windshield and are

operated based on the feature of the rainsquall's weak electric conductivity. The

system structure can be designed as controllable by single or multiple sensors. The

experimental results based on a single sensor show the reliability of the system.

implementation of a reconfigurable automatic rain sensitive windshield wiper

Lubna et al. (2015) In today’s automotive industry, the issue of driver safety and

comfort is of great importance. An automatic windshield wiper system is of great aid

in such cases. It betters the driving experience and improvises the safety factor of a

vehicle by converting the manual windshield wiper system into an automatic

system. By taking care of the attentions drivers would have to devote to control a

manual system, an automatic wiper system helps them to concentrate more on

driving safely. Although, few automated windshield wiper systems are available in

the automotive market, they are very costly and not very effective. This paper

presents a cost effective and high-performance automatic windshield wiper system

developed using an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a rain intensity detection

sensor. The system was programmed to use fuzzy logic to manipulate the analog

data collected from the sensor, and the microcontroller controlled the wiper motor

using pulse width modulation (PWM). The use of fuzzy logic allows the system to be

easily reconfigurable. Such feature can be utilized to design different wiper system

for different vehicles and weather conditions without any hardware modification. It

was successfully connected to a commercial vehicle (Mazda Protégé) and tested for

different rain conditions. The sensor data was collected using artificial rain

conditions to mimic real world raining conditions and the resultant windshield

wiper movement strongly resembled manual control of the wipers. In a nutshell, the

developed system was not only cost effective but also highly performing

As the opinion of Rahul D. Pawar (2015) Synchronization of motors is required in

applications, where two or more motors are used. Conventional Tandem motion

uses the high-speed DC motor; In proposed system a pair of synchronized

windshield wipers is used, in which each wiper arm is driven by its own

independent motor. For synchronization and to avoid collision a closed loop control

system is used. By Synchronizing Two DC Motors, which are controlled using

Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) or Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA),

problems regarding Weight and Space can be solved

Windshield wipers play a key role in assuring the driver's safety during

precipitation. The traditional wiper systems, however, requires driver's constant

attention in adjusting the wiper speed and the intermittent wiper interval because

the amount of precipitation on the windshield constantly varies according to time

and vehicle's speed. The manual adjustment of the wiper distracts driver's attention,

which may be a direct cause of traffic accidents. The project is an endeavor towards

an effective design and development of an automatic windshield wiper system,

based on intensity of rain. The system comprises of PIC (Peripheral Interface

Controller), grid sensor and a D.C. motor to actuate the windshield wiper. Next, the

grid sensor is used to detect the rain intensity which is based on the simple principle

that, as wetness increases sensor output voltage decreases, when the sensor is a part

of voltage divider circuit. The proposed system has ability to change the wiper speed

automatically with the change in rain intensity. (Bansode et al., 2012)

according to Libbey-Owens (1990) affirm that a control circuit for a windshield

wiper motor is disclosed in which the wiper motor is made automatically responsive

to the presence of moisture droplets on the windshield causing the wiper blades to

sweep back and forth at a rate dependent upon the level of precipitation

encountered. By using a set of sample-and-hold circuits (322, 324), bandpass filtering

(330) and a differential amplifier (320) under microprocessor control (336),

disturbances to the system due to changes in ambient light are linearly rejected and

the system becomes immune to such disturbances. The system utilizes an

intentional-retrigger algorithm enabling the system to detect water droplets that

miss the sensor (50) yet fall within the area of the windshield (304) which is swept by

the wiper blades. The system automatically adapts to windshields of differing

transmittance and is not falsely set into action by electromagnetic disturbances.

According to Peter Otchere (November 2016) expressed that the automated rain

wiper system is used to detect rainfall and activate automobile rain wiper

automatically without driver interaction. The system is developed to mitigate

driving distractions and allow drivers to focus on their primary task of driving. The

distraction eliminated with the development of this product is the manual

adjustment of windshield wipers when driving in precipitation. The few seconds

that a driver takes their attention off the road to adjust a knob while driving in poor

weather conditions could potentially lead to car accidents. The system uses a

combination of impedance and rain sensor to detect rain and its intensity. The

system contains a controller that takes in the input signals from the sensors and

controls the operation of the windshield wipers based on those input signals the aim

of this project is to help reduce accidents that happen as a result of the driver

intending to clean the windscreen when rain is falling thereby taking the attention of

the driver off the road when he or she is switching on and off the wiper. In rainy

days we suffer from the act of sprinkling of water on the front glass of our wheeler.

While driving, when drivers cannot see visibly on-road vehicles they try operating

the wiper on glass manually, at times switching on and off intermittently and this

distraction might cause vehicle accident. If we apply any kind of sensor on glass
which senses the act of sprinkling water, by automation, the wiper will be operating

automatically. When the water hit the sensor, it will send a signal to the system thus

triggering the wiper motor. Once the sensor does not detect any water, the wiper

will stop. This will reduce the human interface that has been stated earlier. An

addition to this invention is that the wiper automatically pushes up from the

windscreen when the engine is shut off.

Terakura, et al, (2001) create and design concept of the sensor is based on the

quantification on both detected rainfalls and wiping modes in order to match the

wiping mode in an operator's mind by optimizing the optical sensing system and

establishing an algorithm for controlling wiping. In addition, auto-initialization of

the system has been achieved first in the world.

International Journal of Engineering & Technology Sciences IJETS (2015) the issue of

driver safety and comfort is of great importance. An automatic windshield wiper

system is of great aid in such cases. It betters the driving experience and improvises

the safety factor of a vehicle by converting the manual windshield wiper system into

an automatic system.

This paper presents a cost effective and high-performance automatic windshield

wiper system developed using an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a rain intensity

detection sensor. The system was programmed to use fuzzy logic to manipulate the

analog data collected from the sensor, and the microcontroller controlled the wiper

motor using pulse width modulation (PWM. The use of fuzzy logic allows the

system to be easily reconfigurable. Such feature can be utilized to design different

wiper system for different vehicles and weather conditions without any hardware

modification.

According to Karim Nice (Feb 9, 2021) express that Rain-sensing Wipers In the past,

automakers have tried to either eliminate the wipers or to control their speed

automatically. Some of the schemes involved detecting the vibrations caused by

individual raindrops hitting the windshield, applying special coatings that did not

allow drops to form, or even ultrasonically vibrating the windshield to break up the

droplets so they don't need to be wiped at all. But these systems were plagued by

problems and either never made it to production or were quickly axed because they

annoyed more drivers than they pleased. However, a new type of wiper system is

starting to appear on cars that actually does a good job of detecting the amount of

water on the windshield and controlling the wipers. One such system is made by

TRW Inc., here is a PDF describing their rain sensor system. TRW Inc. uses optical

sensors to detect the moisture. The sensor is mounted in contact with the inside of

the windshield, near the rearview

form that contains corresponding points on evaluation as well as open-ended

questions. After the respondents answered the questionnaire, the researcher will

conduct the effectiveness of developing wiper system sensor for light vehicles. Then

the researchers tallied the result gathered in a survey.

Sampling procedure

In selecting the respondents of the study, the target respondents are the automotive

students, Instructors, and car owners taken by the proponents.

Scoring Procedure

To find the extent of the effectiveness of Development of Wiper system Sensor for

Light Vehicles in terms of being functional, reliability, aesthetics, convenience, and

safety. The data gathered for this study will be based on the distribution of a form

via the Google platform to target the respondents and ask for their cooperation and

assistance with the study.

Scoring Guidelines

To interpret the data for evaluation of the Development of Wiper System Sensor for

Light Vehicles, the following range are used:

Range Mean Qualitative

4.50-5.00 5.00 Highly Functional

 3.50-4.49 4.49 Functional

2.50-3.49 3.49 Moderately

1.50-2.49 2.49 Slightly Functional

1.00-1.49 1.49 Not Functional

Statistical treatment

Mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the result of the study.

The median is known as a measure of location; that is, it tells us where the data are.

As stated in, we do not need to know all the exact values to calculate the median; if

we made the smallest value even smaller or the largest value even larger, it would

not change the value of the median. Thus, the median does not use all the

information in the data and so it can be shown to be less efficient than the mean or

average, which does use all values of the data. To calculate the mean, we add up the

observed values and divide by the number of them. The total of the values obtained

in Table 1.1 was 22.5 , which was divided by their number, 15, to give a

mean of 1.5. This familiar process is conveniently expressed by the following

symbols:

The range is an important measurement, for figures at the top and bottom of

it denote the findings furthest removed from the generality. However, they do not

give much indication of the spread of observations about the mean. This is where the

standard deviation (SD) comes in.

 The reason why the standard deviation is such a useful measure of the scatter

of the observations is this: if the observations follow a normal distribution, a range

covered by one standard deviation above the mean and one standard deviation

below it

SUMMARY CONCLUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary
 This chapter present the summary, findings, the conclusion and the

recommendation of the study.

The main purpose of this study is to develop a prototype model for the wiper system

sensor for light vehicles to make it easier to explain, exemplify, and demonstrate the

wiper system sensor, and to share this study ideas with all automotive practitioners,

instructors, and car owners in our country as a learning resource. The specific

problems that were answer in this study are as follows:

1. How thus the use of an automatic sensor influences the operation of the wiper

system?

2. What are factors that affects in developing wiper system sensor for light

vehicles?

3. How acceptable is the development of wiper system sensor model in terms of;

a.) Functionality b.) Reliability, c.) Safety, d.) Aesthetics, e.) Convenience.

Research problem number 1

1. How thus the use of an automatic sensor influences the operation of the wiper

system?

The use of automatic sensors is to help the operation of wiper system that

could be able to perform automatically but not manually.

Research problem number 2

2. What are the factors that affects in developing wiper system sensor for light

vehicles?
 The factors that affect the development of the wiper system sensor for light

vehicles are as follows:

Students will be able to use the wiper sensor system to provide additional

background, learning, ideas, and capabilities to enhance their skills, knowledge, and

capabilities to work in terms of the principles and operation of the wiper sensor

system. Due to a lack of learning materials, several students don’t know the

operation of the wiper system sensor.

This model can be utilized by instructors to support details or concepts when

teaching their students. It will help them organize their time better so that they can

educate their students more effectively and efficiently. Some schools are unable to

provide a prototype or development model to be utilized as a learning aid for their

students.

A wiper system sensor can provide the car owner with information on how to avoid

accidents, particularly on night roads and during the rainy season. It will assist them

in avoiding danger while driving and to applying safety. Suddenly, the wiper sensor

system is expensive and not easy to resolve the problem. Research problem number

1. How acceptable is the instructional trainer model in terms of; a.)

Functionality b.) Reliability, c.) Safety, d.) Aesthetics, e.) Convenience.

Based on the ratings of the respondents about the usefulness of the

instructional model in terms of; functionality, reliability, safety, aesthetics,

and convenience, in terms of functionality, as a researcher, we prove that it is

functional in 3 principles: slow, moderate, and high. In reliability, it is reliable

 on the basis of what we have done in the automatic wiper system model. We

prove that the wiper system sensor can demonstrate the three-variable speed,

which is the low, moderate, and high speed. In terms of safety, it is safe based

on the testing that we conducted several times. In aesthetics, the wiper system

sensor model components have a smooth surface and are safe when used.

They are also presentable and can be rated as highly functional. The wiper

system sensor model is useful because it is tangible and we are comfortable

performing it.

Conclusions

Based on the findings of the study and the result of the data gathered from

the respondents, the prototype wiper system sensor model for light vehicles is

acceptable and reliable for the automotive practitioners, instructors, and car owners

when it comes to functionality of the product, it has mean of 4.64667 which belongs

to highly functional base on qualitative interpretation. For convenience, it has mean

of 4.65333 which is also belongs to highly functional base on qualitative

interpretation. For the reliability, it has mean of 4.52667 which belong to functional

base on qualitative interpretation. For safety, it has mean of 4.58 which belong to

highly functional base on qualitative interpretation. For aesthetics, it has mean of

4.68 which belong to highly functional base on qualitative interpretation. The result

of the instructional model in terms of; functional, aesthetics, reliability and safety are

all highly functional though the convenience of the instructional model got a

functional base on qualitative interpretation.

Recommendations

During the system's development, the researcher encounters difficulties with the

system's components. The parts of the wiper sensor system are uncommon and

expensive. The researchers were unable to purchase expensive parts due to financial

constraints, and they also encountered difficulties in assembling and programming

the aforementioned wiper system sensor. The researcher's determination and

courage aided them in achieving their objectives based on their findings and

conclusions. The development of a wiper system sensor is recommended and

reliable to operate the wiper system automatically. It is also acceptable as an

additional learning system in schools.
