Abstract
A wiper control arrangement for vehicles has a motor with a reversible direction of rotation and a driven shaft to which a wiper is rigidly coupled, and a position regulator which receives a wiper drive control signal and a driven shaft position signal detected by a detector of the position of the driven shaft and supplies a regulating variable to the motor. The signal from a vehicle speed sensor and/or wiping angular speed sensor associated with the wiper control arrangement are supplied to the position regulator, the wiper drive control and/or the driven shaft position detector in order to reduce the wiping angle of the wiper at higher speeds of the vehicle and/or higher wiping angular speeds.
