ADAS Calibration
ADAS Calibration (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Calibration) is the precise alignment and testing of your vehicle’s safety sensors and cameras after windshield replacement or repair. These systems rely on exact positioning to function correctly, helping to keep you and your passengers safe.
The high-tech safety features built into modern vehicles. These systems use cameras, radar, lidar, and sensors—many of which are mounted to or behind the windshield—to assist the driver in real-time.
The process of aligning and adjusting a vehicle’s sensors and cameras to ensure its driver-assist features function as intended. This calibration is necessary after various events, such as windshield replacement or repairs that might have affected the system’s alignment.
Why is ADAS Calibration Important?
Accuracy and Safety: ADAS systems rely on accurate sensor data to detect objects, maintain lane positioning, and react to potential hazards. Calibration ensures this data is reliable, improving safety and reducing the risk of accidents.
Functionality: Proper alignment and calibration are crucial for features like blind spot detection, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control to work effectively.
Post-Repair: After any work on the vehicle, especially if it involves the windshield or suspension, ADAS calibration may be needed to restore the system’s accuracy.
Types of ADAS Calibration
Static Calibration: This method involves using specialized equipment to precisely align the sensors and cameras while the vehicle is stationary.
Dynamic Calibration: This method requires a technician to drive the vehicle while adjusting the system’s settings to fine-tune its accuracy.
