Abstract
This invention relates to a control system and method for a vehicle speed-response type intermittent wiper. An operation time interval for the wiper, which serves to wipe a window of a vehicle, is set in accordance with a speed of the vehicle to drive the wiper at the operation time interval. Upon detection of a start of the vehicle from a stopped state, the wiper is driven in temporary precedence of the wiper operation time interval so that driving of the wiper can be adequately controlled to ensure the provision of a sufficient area of vision without driving the wiper beyond necessity.
