Global Automotive Rain Sensor Market: Overview


Automotive rain sensor activates in occurrence of rainfall. It automatically switches on wipers, sensing water splash on windshield. Automotive rain sensor helps with drivers safety and comfort, as the driver does not require to adjust or switch on the wipers while driving a vehicle. Rain sensors also prevent wipers from blocking the view of the driver through windscreen, as it also detects movement of the wipers placed in a vehicle. Rain sensor operates on the principle of total internal reflection. Sensor beam system continuously working and transmit an infrared light in the direction of windshield at the angle of forty-five degrees. When windshield is wet, the less light is reflected back to the sensor, and wipers gets switched on.


Global Automotive Rain Sensor Market: Dynamics


Growing demand for safety features in vehicles that can provide safety and comfort to the driver is a key factor driving growth of the global automotive rain sensor market. In addition, increasing adoption of electrical systems to improve efficiency in automobiles is another factor supporting growth of the global market. Increasing demand for regular vehicles as well as luxury vehicles in developing and developed economies is a factor propelling growth of the target market. Moreover, increasing R&D activities for technological advancements in automotive sector are some of the other factors expected to boost growth of the global automotive rain sensor market in the near future.

However, use of automotive rain sensors increases overall cost of the vehicle which may hamper demand and restrain growth of the global automotive rain sensor market. Nevertheless, manufacturing automotive sensors in affordable cost can create high revenue opportunities for growth of the target market over the forecast period.


Global Automotive Rain Sensor Market: Segment Analysis


As per the vehicle type, the passenger cars segment accounts for major share in terms of revenue in the global market and anticipated to maintain its position over the forecast period. The light commercial vehicle segment is expected register a high growth rate in terms of revenue in the near future. Increasing commercial vehicles production in developed countries is a factor anticipated to support growth of the segment in the target market.


Global Automotive Rain Sensor Market: Regional Analysis


Currently, North America accounts for major share in terms of revenue and is expected to maintain its position in the global market over the forecast period, followed by Europe. Presence of prominent players and high adoption of advance technology are major factors fueling growth of the target market in countries in the region. In addition, adoption, of vehicle electrification in automotive sector is another factor driving growth of the automotive rain sensor market in Europe. Market in the Asia Pacific expected to account for lucrative growth in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to increasing number of automotive manufacturing companies in countries in the region.

Patent Number: US8576083B2

Rain detector

Abstract

A rain detector for use with an automotive vehicle. The rain detector includes a capacitance sensor mounted to the inside surface of a windshield. The sensor includes at least two output lines which vary in capacitance as the function of magnitude of rain on the outside surface of the windshield. A programmed microcontroller receives the sensor output lines as analog input signals and then compares the magnitude of the capacitance with a threshold capacitance. In the event that the sensed capacitance exceeds the threshold capacitance, indicative of raindrops on the outside surface of the windshield, the microcontroller generates an output signal to the wiper control circuitry of the vehicle to activate the windshield wiper system.

Automatic rain-shade mechanism used for saloon car

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic rain-shade mechanism used for a saloon car. Two sides of the ceiling of the saloon car are each provided with a clamping seam, foldable type rain-shade boards are arranged in the clamping seams, each rain-shade board comprises a plurality of rotatable support levers which are arranged on a fixed shaft, each support lever is composed of a horizontal connecting face and a vertical pushing face, the connecting faces of the support levers are connected through rain-shade cloth, one end, connected with the fixed shaft, of each support lever is provided with a rotary ring, the rotary rings of the support levers are connected to the fixed shaft in sequence in a sleeved mode, and therefore the support levers are stacked together. The uppermost support lever is driven by a motor to rotate through a transmission mechanism, and a sealing edge matched with a long groove in shape is formed in the side face of the uppermost support lever. When the rain-shade boards are unfolded, the sealing edge is attached to the rear edge of the long groove formed in the ceiling; when the rain-shade boards are folded, the sealing edge is flush with the opening of the long groove. By means of the automatic rain-shade mechanism, passengers are prevented from being drenched by rain when the passengers go on and off the car and rainwater is prevented from entering a compartment. The structure is simple, the manufacture is convenient, and the whole appearance of the car cannot be damaged at the same time.

Patent Number: US20160078305A1

Driver assistance system for vehicle

Abstract

A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes first and second cameras and a rear backup camera. A control processes image data captured by the first camera and determines that the first camera is misaligned when the first camera is disposed at the left side of the vehicle. The control, responsive to a determination of misalignment of the first camera, is operable to algorithmically at least partially compensate for misalignment of the first camera. At least in part responsive to processing of captured image data, a composite image is displayed that provides a view that approximates a view from a single virtual camera. Image data captured at least by the first camera is processed using an edge detection algorithm to detect edges of objects exterior of the vehicle. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, an object of interest exterior of the vehicle is determined.
