Abstract

This project aims to develop of automatic wiper system with notification for urban concept car by using programmable software. This system consists of two parts the hardware part and the software part. The system uses a raindrop sensor and controller to activate the wiper whenever a water droplet is detected. This may reduce human effort and increase comfort, especially during rainy days. Furthermore, this system also equipped with notification in which the driver will be triggered with blade change reminders in the smartphone chat apps. This will alert the drive about its period blade had been use more than it moths recommended. The wiper system design for the urban concept car for the Shell Eco-Marathon competition is evaluated based on the off-shelf part to measure the feasibility of the off-shelf part to be installed into the urban concept car. This is because; the parameter of the windshield for the urban concept car is different from the actual car. The wiping area is evaluated through wiper kinematic simulation using ADAMS view software. The wiping area on the windshield of the urban concept car evaluate using ADAMS view software and CATIA V5 R21 show that the wiping area covers 36% of the windshield and clearance from the other part is suit for the urban concept car.
