Rear window wiper control algorithm

Abstract

A vehicle includes a front windshield wiper and a front windshield wiper actuator configured to actuate the front windshield wiper to wipe a front windshield of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a rear window wiper and a rear window wiper actuator configured to actuate the rear window wiper to wipe a rear window of the vehicle. A precipitation sensor configured to sense precipitation in front of the vehicle. A control system is configured to control a frequency of the front windshield wiper actuator and a frequency of the rear window wiper actuator based on an output of the precipitation sensor. The frequency of the rear window wiper may be proportional to the frequency of the front windshield wiper with adjustments for inputs such as vehicle speed, camera outputs, and current drawn by the rear window wiper actuator.
