A wiper system is an electromechanical component placed on the windshield of automobiles. It is used to enhance the visibility of the windshield by wiping off unwanted sand, dust, and water particles caused by harsh weather conditions such as dust storms, rain, and snow. Rain sensors are used in wiper units of vehicles for automatic wiping. Rain sensing windshield wiper technology is based on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). The amount of light returning to the sensor depends on the amount of water on the windshield. During a downpour, the amount of light returning to the sensor decreases, thus switching on the wipers automatically; the speed is adjusted according to the heaviness of the rain.
