An aromatic sensory emitter may include, e.g., one or more essential oils, one or more aromatic cleaning solutions (e.g., a soap, prewash, or other cleaning solution containing and / or mixed with one or more quantities of one or more essential oils), one or more other aroma-producing liquids, gels, and / or other materials, one or more diffusers (e.g., an essential oil diffuser), one or more sprayers (e.g., a prewash sprayer, a soap sprayer, a water sprayer, and / or one or more other types of sprayers of a car washing system) spraying one or more aromatic cleaning solutions (e.g., a prewash, soap, and / or other cleaning solution used for washing a vehicle in a car washing system), and / or one or more other aroma-producing devices (e.g., one or more devices which produce an aroma by igniting, emitting, and / or otherwise activating one or more aroma-producing liquids, gels, and / or other materials). An aromatic component of one or more sensory outputs may be detected by a passenger of a vehicle by, e.g., an aroma entering the vehicle through a ventilation system of the vehicle. An aromatic component of a sensory experience may be improved by preventing unwanted smells from reaching a vehicle and / or by increasing a concentration of an aroma near a vehicle by, e.g., enclosing a car washing system within a car washing building and / or enclosing a pathway for a vehicle in a tunnel (e.g., using scaffolding, arches, etc.).

[0045] A sensory experience and / or one or more sensory components of one or more sensory outputs are intended to induce one or more responses (e.g., a physiological response, a psychological response, and / or one or more other subconscious responses) by a person (e.g., a passenger of a vehicle), promote one or more sensations (e.g., an experience felt by one or more senses) in the person, convey one or more feelings to the person, and / or otherwise produce an effect based on one or more particular moods. For example, a sensory experience and / or one or more sensory components of one or more sensory outputs may be intended to produce a relaxing mood (e.g., by inducing a relaxing physiological response in a person, promoting relaxing sensations in a person, providing a relaxing feeling to a person, relieving feelings of stress experienced by a person, etc.), an energizing mood (e.g., by inducing an energizing and / orAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 awakening physiological response in a person, promoting energizing and / or awakening sensations in a person, providing an energizing feeling to a person, relieving feelings of exhaustion and / or tiredness experienced by a person, etc.), a calming mood (e.g., by inducing a calming physiological response in a person, promoting calming sensations in a person, providing a feeling of calm to a person, relieving feelings of anxiety and / or discontent experienced by a person, etc.), and / or one or more other moods. In some examples, a mood produced by a sensory experience and / or by one or more sensory outputs may be predetermined. In some examples, a mood produced by a sensory experience and / or by one or more sensory outputs may be chosen by, e.g., a passenger of a vehicle prior to and / or during a car washing process. In some examples, a sensory experience and / or one or more sensory outputs may be intended to produce a plurality of moods.

[0046] In some examples, one or more lighting components of a sensory output may be intended to produce a relaxing mood by, e.g., including a blue light profile, a green light profile, and / or a blue / green light profile. In some examples, one or more video components of a sensory output may be intended to produce a relaxing mood by, e.g., playing relaxing video content on LED panels. In some examples, one or more audio components of a sensory output may be intended to produce a calming mood by, e.g., including a sound profile having a frequency greater than or equal to 431 Hz and less than or equal to 433 Hz and / or a sound profile having a frequency equal to or substantially equal to 432 Hz. In some examples, one or more aromatic components of a sensory output may be intended to produce a relaxing mood by, e.g., including a lavender scent.

[0047] In some examples, one or more lighting components of a sensory output may be intended to produce an energizing mood by, e.g., including a yellow light profile, an orange light profile, and / or a yellow / orange light profile. In some examples, one or more video components of a sensory output may be intended to produce an energizing mood by, e.g., playing energizing video content on LED panels.

[0049] Turning now to the Figures, FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an example of a car washing system 100 for washing a vehicle. In the example of FIG. 1, the car washing system 100 comprises a car washing building 101, which a vehicle 108 (e.g., a car, a truck, and / or one or more other types of automobiles) may enter through an entrance 102A in an entry region 102, and, after being washed by the car washing system 100, the vehicle 108 may exit the car washing building lOlthrough an exit 104A in an exit region 104. The car washing building 101, one or more regions of the car washing system 100, and / or one or more devices and / or systems of the car washing system 100, as illustrated in FIG. 1, may not be depicted to scale and may, in some examples, vary from the sizes and / or ratios depicted in FIG. 1 with respect to, e.g., relative lengths, widths, radii, area, etc. In some examples, the car washing system 100 does not include the car washing building 101 and may, instead, be partially or wholly exposed to the environment. In some examples, the car washing building 101 includes one or more shapes, one or more architectures, one or more regions, one or more rooms, and / or one or more other aspects not depicted in FIG. 1.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 2, and with reference to FIG. 1, in some examples, the vehicle 108 may enter the entrance 102A of the car washing system 100 after passing through an entry pay station 200. The entry pay station 200 includes an entry user interface 210, and a first passenger 108A of the vehicle 108 (e.g., a driver of the vehicle 108) and a second passenger 108B of the vehicle 108 (e.g., one or more other persons in the vehicle 108) may interact with the entry user interface 210 to, e.g., select a particular car washing process to be conducted by the car washing system 100. For example, one or more options may be selected on a primary display 212 of the entry user interface 210, and the passengers 108A, 108B may select one or more options using one or more interaction devices 214 (e.g., a point of sale system, a keypad, one or more buttons, a touch screen of the primary display 212, a camera, a microphone, etc.) of the entry user interface 210. In someAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 examples, the entry user interface 210 and / or the entry pay station 200 may additionally include one or more secondary displays 216.

[0051] Referring again to the example of FIG. 1, the car washing system 100 comprises a prewashing region 110, a main washing region 120, a rinsing region 130, and a drying region 140. In some examples, the car washing system 100 includes only one prewashing region (i.e., the prewashing region 110), a plurality of prewashing regions, or no prewashing regions. In some examples, the car washing system 100 includes only one main washing region (i.e., the main washing region 120), a plurality of main washing regions, or no main washing regions. In some examples, the car washing system 100 includes only one rinsing region (i.e., the rinsing region 130), a plurality of rinsing regions, or no rinsing regions. In some examples, the car washing system 100 includes only one drying region (i.e., the drying region 140), a plurality of drying regions, or no drying regions. In some examples, the car washing system 100 may include one or more other regions.

[0052] In some examples, a conveying system 106 (e.g., one or more conveyor belts and / or one or more other mechanisms for conveying a vehicle) may convey the vehicle 108 through one or more regions of the car washing system 100 (e.g., any, some, or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140) by, e.g., locking one or more wheels of the vehicle 108 into one or more wheel couplers 106A of the conveying system 106. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1, the conveying system 106 automatically transports the vehicle 108 from the entry region 102 and to the exit region 104 by sequentially transporting the vehicle 108 through the prewashing region 110, the main washing region 120, the rinsing region 130, and the drying region 140. In some examples, once the vehicle 108 has been transported to the exit region 104, the vehicle 108 may leave the car washing system 100 through the exit 104A (e.g., by decoupling from the wheel couplers 106A). In some examples, the conveying system 106 may not transport the vehicle 108 at a uniform speed through any, some, or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140. Rather, in some such examples, the conveying system 106 may stop the vehicle 108, increase a speed of the vehicle 108, and / or decrease a speed of the vehicle 108 in any, some, or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140. In some examples, the car washing system 100 does not include the conveying system 106. In some examples, the car washing system 100 includes a plurality of conveying systems. For example, the car washing system 100 may include two or more conveying systems, two or more prewashing regions, two or more main washing regions, two or more rinsing regions, and / or two or more drying regions, andAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 each conveying system may convey the vehicle 108 through a respective prewashing region, main washing region, rinsing region, and / or drying region separate from one or more other vehicles conveyed by one or more other conveying systems of the two or more conveying systems.

[0053] The prewashing region 110 includes prewashing equipment 112 for performing a prewashing process on the vehicle 108. A prewashing process may be and / or include one or more actions which provide initial cleaning of a vehicle by loosening and / or removing surface dirt, mud, grime, etc., e.g., to reduce the likelihood of damage to a surface of the vehicle caused by interactions of mechanical equipment with such dirt, mud, grime, etc. during one or more subsequent processes (e.g., one or more main washing processes, one or more rinsing processes, one or more drying processes, etc.). A prewashing process may, thereby, include, e.g., spraying and / or otherwise applying a prewash (e.g., snow foam, hand foamer, truck wash, traffic film remover, soap, etc.) to a vehicle, soaking a vehicle in a prewash (e.g., waiting for a predetermined amount of time after applying a prewash), and / or rinsing a vehicle with water (e.g., instead of applying a prewash to the vehicle or to rinse prewash off of the vehicle). Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1, the prewashing equipment 112 includes one or more prewash sprayers 112A for spraying and / or otherwise applying one or more prewashes to a vehicle and / or for rinsing a vehicle with water. Each of the one or more prewash sprayers 112A may include, e.g., one or more pressure washers, one or more spray guns, one or more foam lances, one or more boomerang foamers, one or more pumps, one or more jet nozzles, one or more rain bars, and / or one or more other devices. In some examples, the prewashing equipment 112 may include one or more other types of equipment. In some examples, any, some, or all of the prewashing equipment 112 (e.g., the one or more prewash sprayers 112A) may be wholly operated by a user (e.g., an operator of the car washing system 100), partially automatedly operated, and / or wholly automatedly operated. For example, control circuitry 150 of the car washing system 100 may partially or wholly control any, some, or all of the prewashing equipment 112 (e.g., the one or more prewash sprayers 112A).

[0054] In some examples, any, some, or all of the prewashing equipment 112 (e.g., the one or more prewash sprayers 112A) may be mounted to a floor of the car washing system 100 e.g., on one or both sides of a pathway for a vehicle through the prewashing region 110 (e.g., as defined by the conveying system 106). In some examples, any, some, or all of the prewashing equipment 112 (e.g., the one or more prewash sprayers 112A) may be mounted to prewashing region scaffolding 113 (e.g., one or more arches) of the prewashing region 110. In some such examples,Attorney Docket No. 68481WO01 any, some, or all of the prewashing region scaffolding 113 may extend from a floor of the car washing system 100 and / or from a ceiling of the car washing building 101 and / or may extend above and / or about any, some, or all of a pathway for a vehicle through the prewashing region 110.

[0055] The main washing region 120 includes main washing equipment 122 for performing a main washing process on the vehicle. A main washing process may be and / or include one or more actions which provide cleaning of a vehicle and / or removal of dirt, mud, grime, etc. which may be more intensive (e.g., mechanically and / or chemically intensive) than actions taken during a prewashing process, e.g., to loosen and / or remove persistent dirt, mud, grime, etc. not removed during a prewashing process, to apply substances which protect and / or increase one or more qualities of an appearance of the vehicle (e.g., gloss), etc.. A main washing process may, thereby, include, e.g., spraying and / or otherwise applying one or more soaps and / or one or more other cleaning solutions to a vehicle, soaking a vehicle in one or more soaps and / or one or more other cleaning solutions, and / or rinsing a vehicle with water. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1, the main washing equipment 122 includes one or more main wash soap sprayers 122 A for spraying and / or otherwise applying one or more soaps (e.g., a foaming soap, a non-foaming soap, etc.) and / or one or more other cleaning solutions to a vehicle and / or for rinsing a vehicle with water. Each of the one or more main wash soap sprayers 122A may include, e.g., one or more pressure washers, one or more spray guns, one or more foam lances, one or more boomerang foamers, one or more pumps, one or more jet nozzles, one or more rain bars, and / or one or more other devices. In some examples, the main washing equipment 122 may include one or more other types of equipment. In some examples, any, some, or all of the main washing equipment 122 (e.g., the one or more main wash soap sprayers 122A) may be wholly operated by a user (e.g., an operator of the car washing system 100), partially automatedly operated, and / or wholly automatedly operated. For example, control circuitry 150 of the car washing system 100 may partially or wholly control any, some, or all of the main washing equipment 122 (e.g., the one or more main wash soap sprayers 122A).

[0056] In some examples, any, some, or all of the main washing equipment 122 (e.g., the one or more main wash soap sprayers 122A) may be mounted to a floor of the car washing system 100 e.g., on one or both sides of a pathway for a vehicle through the main washing region 120 (e.g., as defined by the conveying system 106). In some examples, any, some, or all of the main washingAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 equipment 122 (e.g., the one or more main wash soap sprayers 122A) may be mounted to main washing region scaffolding 123 (e.g., one or more arches) of the main washing region 120. In some such examples, any, some, or all of the main washing region scaffolding 123 may extend from a floor of the car washing system 100 and / or from a ceiling of the car washing building 101 and / or may extend above and / or about any, some, or all of a pathway for a vehicle through the main washing region 120.

[0057] The rinsing region 130 includes rinsing equipment 132 for performing a rinsing process on the vehicle. A rinsing process may be and / or include one or more actions which spray and / or otherwise apply water to a vehicle, e.g., to remove loosened dirt, mud, grime, etc. not removed during a prewashing process and / or during a main washing process, to remove one or more prewashes, one or more soaps, and / or one or more other cleaning solutions from a vehicle, etc. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1, the rinsing equipment 132 includes one or more rinse water sprayers 132A for spraying and / or otherwise applying water to a vehicle to rinse the vehicle. Each of the one or more rinse water sprayers 132A may include, e.g., one or more pressure washers, one or more spray guns, one or more pumps, one or more jet nozzles, one or more rain bars, and / or one or more other devices. In some examples, the rinsing equipment 132 may include one or more other types of equipment. In some examples, any, some, or all of the rinsing equipment 132 (e.g., the one or more rinse water sprayers 132A) may be wholly operated by a user (e.g., an operator of the car washing system 100), partially automatedly operated, and / or wholly automatedly operated. For example, control circuitry 150 of the car washing system 100 may partially or wholly control any, some, or all of the rinsing equipment 132 (e.g., the one or more rinse water sprayers 132A).

[0058] In some examples, any, some, or all of the rinsing equipment 132 (e.g., the one or more rinse water sprayers 132A) may be mounted to a floor of the car washing system 100 e.g., on one or both sides of a pathway for a vehicle through the rinsing region 130 (e.g., as defined by the conveying system 106). In some examples, any, some, or all of the rinsing equipment 132 (e.g., the one or more rinse water sprayers 132 A) may be mounted to rinsing region scaffolding 133 (e.g., one or more arches) of the rinsing region 130. In some such examples, any, some, or all of the rinsing region scaffolding 133 may extend from a floor of the car washing system 100 and / or from a ceiling of the car washing building 101 and / or may extend above and / or about any, some, or all of a pathway for a vehicle through the rinsing region 130.Attorney Docket No. 68481WO01

[0059] The drying region 140 includes drying equipment 142 for performing a drying process on the vehicle. A drying process may be and / or include one or more actions which dry a vehicle, e.g., to remove water from a vehicle (e.g., to remove water applied during a rinsing process). Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 1, the drying equipment 142 includes one or more dryers 142A for drying a vehicle. Each of the one or more dryers 142A may include, e.g., one or more air dryers, one or more mechanical dryers, etc. In some examples, the drying equipment 142 may include one or more other types of equipment, such as equipment for waxing a vehicle (e.g., by applying a waxing agent to a vehicle) and / or applying one or more other substances or agents to a vehicle. In some examples, any, some, or all of the drying equipment 142 (e.g., the one or more dryers 142A) may be wholly operated by a user (e.g., an operator of the car washing system 100), partially automatedly operated, and / or wholly automatedly operated. For example, control circuitry 150 of the car washing system 100 may partially or wholly control any, some, or all of the drying equipment 142 (e.g., the one or more dryers 142A).

[0060] In some examples, any, some, or all of the drying equipment 142 (e.g., the one or more dryers 142A) may be mounted to a floor of the car washing system 100 e.g., on one or both sides of a pathway for a vehicle through the drying region 140 (e.g., as defined by the conveying system 106). In some examples, any, some, or all of the drying equipment 142 (e.g., the one or more dryers 142A) may be mounted to drying region scaffolding 143 (e.g., one or more arches) of the drying region 140. In some such examples, any, some, or all of the drying region scaffolding 143 may extend from a floor of the car washing system 100 and / or from a ceiling of the car washing building 101 and / or may extend above and / or about any, some, or all of a pathway for a vehicle through the drying region 140.

[0061] The car washing system 100 is configured to provide a sensory experience detectable by the passengers 108A, 108B of the vehicle 108 while the car washing system 100 is washing the vehicle 108 (e.g., during any, some, or all of a prewashing process, a main washing process, a rinsing process, and / or a drying process). Accordingly, the car washing system 100 includes one or more sensory emitters configured to provide the sensory experience. The car washing system 100 may include one or more sensory emitters corresponding to one or more regions of each of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140. In the example of FIG. 1, the prewashing region 110 includes one or more prewashing region sensory emitters 114, the main washing region 120 includes one or more main washing region sensory emitters 124, the rinsing region 130 includes one or moreAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 rinsing region sensory emitters 134, and the drying region 140 includes one or more drying region sensory emitters 144. In some examples, one or more sensory emitters of the car washing system 100 (e.g., one or more of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144) may correspond to only one region of the car washing system 100, no regions of the car washing system 100, and / or any plurality of regions of the car washing system 100 (e.g., any combination of some or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140).

[0062] In examples including the car washing building 101, the car washing building 101 may improve one or more aspects of a sensory experience, e.g., by reducing unwanted light, noise, and / or smells reaching the vehicle 108 and / or the passengers 108A, 108B, reducing glare and / or otherwise improving quality of on one or more video components of one or more sensory outputs, by preventing the escape from the car washing system 100 of one or more light, audio, and / or aromatic components of one or more sensory outputs, and / or by increasing the amount one or more light, audio, and / or aromatic components of one or more sensory outputs which reaches the vehicle 108 and / or the passengers 108A, 108B. In some additional and / or alternative examples, any, some, or all of the scaffolding 113, 123, 133, 143 may form one or more tunnels surrounding a pathway of the vehicle 108 through any, some, or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140 (e.g., by forming one or more continuous and / or semi-continuous arches).

[0063] To provide the sensory experience, the control circuitry 150 controls one or more of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 (e.g., by outputting a control signal to one or more of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144) to generate one or more sensory outputs of the sensory experience. For example, when the car washing system 100 is washing the vehicle 108, the control circuitry 150 may determine that the vehicle 108 is in one or more predetermined regions (e.g., any, some, or all of the regions 110, 120, 130, 140) and, based on which predetermined region that the vehicle 108 is located in, the control circuitry 150 may determine which of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 should produce one or more sensory outputs, determine what sensory output should be produced by any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 (e.g., a sensory output associated with the predetermined region), and control the determined sensory emitters of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 to produce the determined sensory outputs.

[0064] The control circuitry 150 may determine sensory outputs of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 based on a region in which the control circuitry 150 determinesAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 the vehicle 108 to be located in. For example, when the control circuitry 150 determines that the vehicle 108 is in the prewashing region 110, the control circuitry 150 may control one or more of the prewashing region sensory emitters 114 to generate one or more sensory outputs. However, in some examples, the control circuitry 150 may control one or more of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 to generate sensory outputs even if the control circuitry 150 determines that the vehicle 108 is in one or more regions not associated with the one or more of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144. For example, when the control circuitry 150 determines that the vehicle 108 is in the entry region 102, the control circuitry 150 may control any, some, or all of the one or more prewashing region sensory emitters 114 to generate one or more sensory outputs, even though the vehicle 108 is not located within the prewashing region 110 (i.e., the region associated with the prewashing region sensory emitters 114). As an additional and / or alternative example, when the control circuitry 150 determines that the vehicle 108 is in the main washing region 120, the control circuitry 150 may control the one or more main washing region sensory emitters 124 and any, some, or all of the one or more rinsing region sensory emitters 134 to generate one or more sensory outputs, even though the vehicle 108 is not located within the rinsing region 130 (i.e., the region associated with the rinsing region sensory emitters 134).

[0065] The control circuitry 150 may vary sensory outputs of any, some, or all of the sensory emitters 114, 124, 134, 144 based on a region in which the control circuitry 150 determines the vehicle 108 to be located in. For example, when the vehicle 108 is in the prewashing region 110, the control circuitry 150 may control the one or more prewashing region sensory emitters 114 to generate one or more sensory outputs intended to produce a relaxing mood, but, when the vehicle 108 is in the main washing region 120, the control circuitry 150 may control the one or more main washing region sensory emitters 124 to generate one or more sensory outputs intended to produce an energizing mood.

[0066] The control circuitry 150 may determine one or more aspects of a sensory experience of the car washing system 100 (e.g., one or more sensory outputs, one or more moods, etc.) based on one or more selections by the passengers 108A, 108B of the vehicle 108. For example, and with reference to FIG. 2, the passengers 108A, 108B may, while using the entry user interface 210, select one or more aspects of a sensory experience (e.g., a relaxing mood, a calming mood, an energetic mood, etc.) by using the interaction devices 214 to select one or more options displayed on either or both of the displays 212, 216. As an additional and / or alternative example, theAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 passengers 108A, 108B and / or one or more other persons may select (e.g., prior to beginning a car washing process) and / or modify (e.g., during a car washing process) one or more aspects of a sensory experience using an app, a webpage, etc., accessed by, e.g., scanning a QR code displayed on and / or near the entry user interface 210. In some such examples, the control circuitry 150 may receive one or more input signals from the entry user interface 210 and / or one or more remote computers (e.g., hosting an app, a webpage, etc.) to determine one or more aspects of a sensory experience of the car washing system 100.

For example, one or more proximity sensors of the sensor and generate one or more sensor signals, and the control circuitry 150 may determine a region that the vehicle 108 is within based on the one or more sensor signals. In some additional and / or alternative examples, the control circuitry 150 may determine a region that the vehicle 108 is within based on the conveying of the vehicle 108 by the conveying system 106 (e.g., by monitoring a progression of the wheel couplers 106A through a vehicle pathway of the car washing system 100). In some examples, the control circuitry 150 determines a region that the vehicle 108 is within based on theAttorney Docket No. 68481WO01 conveying of the vehicle 108 by the conveying system 106 and on one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of the sensor system 163.
