The primary objective of his project was to construct 'Heat and Rain Detection System for Power Window in Vehicle'. The system was composed of five major modules which were heat sensor module, rain sensor module, microcontroller module, power supply module and motor module. In a hot day, when the temperature inside the car reaches at certain level, the heat sensor will send an input signal to a microcontroller to roll down the power window by one inch in order to let the hot air flow outside. For the rain detection system, it will be activated when it detects rain water. This sensor then sends an input signal to the microcontroller, which in tum sends an output signal to drive the motor to close the window. This innovation for power window mechanism will give some values to the car owner and automobile industry especially to country that its weather is fairly hot and humid all year. IV
