<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wiper control apparatus which properly controls the driving of a wiper. <P>SOLUTION: The wiper control apparatus determines a detection threshold for the detection of an output signal being a first threshold K1 when it is determined that a vehicle is traveling (S105: YES) and determines a determination wait time taken from a point of a water droplet equivalent value exceeding the first threshold K1 to a point of the determination of the stick of water droplet to a wind shield 10 being a first time T1 (S106). and determines the detection threshold for the detection of the output signal being a second threshold K2 larger than the first threshold K1 and determines the determination wait time taken from a point of the water droplet equivalent value exceeding the second threshold K2 to a point of the determination of the stick of the water droplet to the wind shield 10 being a second time T2 shorter than the first time T1 (S107) when it is determined that no vehicle is traveling (S105: NO) This suppresses a malfunction of a wiper 8 caused not by the water droplet but by an action of an inner mirror 21, etc., thus enabling proper control over the driving of the wiper 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
