During the Mumbai 26/7 rains, lot of vehicles lost their electronic capability due to water logging in the vehicles (refer figure 1). This resulted in loss of life of individuals as they were incapable of leaving the vehicle as all the power driven windows and doors were sealed. A rain sensing wiper system that works on a principle other than electronics would be a boon in such a situation. The electrical voltage can be made to close/roll down the windows or open the door locks when it rains allowing passengers to escape from the vehicles. In developing countries, there is heavy neck to neck traffic allowing very less reflection time on the part of the driver. Also, situations are common where the vehicles have to follow huge trucks without tail-lights. Such situations can cause the driver to panic resulting in him pressing some wrong button in-order to start the wiper. A low cost automatic rain sensing wiper will be very useful in such a scenario. In this paper, we have investigated an electrochemical switch which is rain sensitive and independent of the electronics of the vehicle. Also, a lot of electrical components are involved in electrically operated rain sensing wiper, hence, there is always a chance of short circuit since the system deals specifically with water as medium. As a result regular inspection and preventive maintenance prove to be crucial for it as compared to our wiper which is eco-friendly and offers high reliability. In this paper, we have compared our electrochemical based wiper system with other existing methods in literature.
