This project focuses on developing an advanced heated car cover designed as an efficient alternative to the manual labor of shoveling snow.

The primary objective of this project is to save time and reduce the effort required to clear snow off vehicles, especially during harsh winter conditions. The cover is equipped with embedded sensors and heating elements controlled by a Raspberry Pi microcontroller. In essence, the project aims to provide a robotic solution for snow removal from cars, ensuring ease and convenience for users.

Motivation for the Project

The motivation behind this project is to offer a practical and time-saving solution for vehicle snow removal. Manually shoveling snow is not only physically demanding but also time-consuming. Statistics show that the average person spends about 1 hour clearing snow from their car after each snowfall. In regions with heavy snowfall, this task can accumulate to several hours each week. Additionally, the physical strain from shoveling snow can lead to significant health risks, such as heart strain and back injuries.

By automating the snow removal process with a heated car cover, we aim to enhance user convenience and reduce physical strain. The innovation addresses a common winter challenge, making it easier and safer for individuals to maintain their vehicles. The use of sensors ensures that the heating elements are activated only when necessary, optimizing energy consumption and performance. Our goal is to transform winter mornings by providing a reliable solution that quickly and efficiently clears snow from cars, benefiting those who regularly face heavy snowfall.
