Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined. A Smart Rain Detection Wiper System is an innovative design that automatically detects rainfall using a rain sensor and activates the windshield wiper without human intervention. The system relies on an embedded microcontroller such as an Arduino UNO or ESP32, which processes the signal from the rain sensor and controls a DC motor or servo motor connected to the wiper mechanism. When rain is detected, the sensor sends an analog or digital signal to the microcontroller, which triggers the motor to operate at a speed proportional to the rainfall intensity. Once the rain stops, the system automatically deactivates the wiper. This project combines sensor technology, microcontroller programming, and automated control systems to achieve a functional prototype. The integration of hardware and software allows the system to sense environmental conditions and respond intelligently, reducing driver workload and improving safety. The construction of this smart rain detection wiper system is a step toward building fully automated vehicle subsystems and supports current research trends in Internet of Things (IoT) and smart automotive technologies.
