ADAS Calibration
ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, refers to a range of cutting-edge vehicle safety technologies designed to assist drivers and reduce the risk of accidents. These systems use sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence to monitor the environment around the vehicle and provide real-time support to enhance both driver safety and convenience.
What is ADAS?
​
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) encompasses a set of advanced vehicle safety technologies designed to assist drivers and minimize accident risks. By utilizing sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence, these systems continuously monitor the vehicle's surroundings and provide real-time support to improve both driver safety and overall driving convenience.
​
Key ADAS Features:
-
Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts drivers when the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane, helping maintain safe positioning on the road.
-
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles, improving comfort and reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.
-
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential collisions and automatically applies the brakes to prevent or minimize the impact, a crucial feature for collision avoidance.
-
Blind Spot Detection: Monitors the vehicle’s blind spots and warns the driver of vehicles in adjacent lanes, helping prevent side collisions.
-
Parking Assistance: Uses sensors and cameras to assist with parking, either by guiding the driver or autonomously parking the car in tight spaces.
When ADAS calibration required?
​
ADAS calibration is necessary after any procedure that affects the sensors or cameras used by these systems. Common situations that require calibration include:
​
-
Windshield Replacement: If the windshield has a camera or sensor mounted on it, replacing or repairing the windshield can misalign the sensor.
-
Sensor or Camera Removal/Replacement: If any sensors or cameras are removed, replaced, or repositioned, recalibration is needed to ensure accurate functionality.
-
Suspension or Alignment Work: Adjusting the vehicle’s suspension, wheel alignment, or other components that affect the positioning of the sensors can impact ADAS performance, requiring recalibration.
-
Body Work: If the vehicle undergoes repairs that involve the bumpers or areas with radar sensors or cameras, calibration may be necessary.
-
Removal of front camera unit
