Abstract
Windshield control is a vital operation of driver during driving. The mountings fitted in the windscreen or also called windshield are essential to use for smooth driving. These can be automated by using sensors and microcontroller. A complete windshield controlling system has been developed here to increase human comfort and flexibility. The wiper has been controlled by a water level sensor which regulate the wiper motor through sensing the level of water or rain. A dust sensors has been integrated to spill some water in the windscreen and then wipe it. It senses when a certain level of dust get accumulated in the screen. The sun visor which is mounted inside the car to shade the driver´s eye from sun would be easier to control by a servo motor. Here an automatic sun visor has been designed to be controlled through a light sensor which is used to measure the light intensity and send the signal to the main control unit. This project focuses on improving human comfort in the existing system so that the driver can pay full attention in driving at all weather even in dusty, rainy or summer.
