  2. Rain sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_sensor

    A diagram showing the operation of an optical rain sensor. The most common modern rain sensors are based on the principle of total internal reflection. At all times, an infrared light is beamed at a 45-degree angle into the windshield from the interior. If the glass is dry, the critical angle for total internal refraction is around 42°.

  3. Present weather sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_weather_sensor

    The present weather sensor (PWS) is a component of an automatic weather station that detects the presence of hydrometeors and determines their type (rain, snow, drizzle, etc.) and intensity. It works on a principle similar to a bistatic radar , noting the passage of droplets, or flakes, between a transmitter and a sensor.

    An example of the inductance loop installed in the road for cars and bikes Schematic of such a detector See also: Traffic count Vehicle detection loops, called inductive-loop traffic detectors , can detect vehicles passing or arriving at a certain point, for instance approaching a traffic light or in motorway traffic.

  9. Robotic sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_sensing

    Visual sensors help robots to identify the surrounding environment and take appropriate action. [3] Robots analyze the image of the immediate environment based on data input from the visual sensor. The result is compared to the ideal, intermediate or end image, so that appropriate movement or action can be determined to reach the intermediate ...
