ADAS CALIBRATION
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
When might adas calibration be needed?
Calibration can be required after certain types of work or repairs. If the position of a camera, radar or sensor changes, the system may no longer be accurately aligned.
Windscreen Replacement
Some vehicles have ADAS cameras mounted behind the windscreen. Calibration may be required after the glass has been replaced.
Wheel Alignment
Changes to the vehicle's geometry can affect the relationship between the vehicle and its ADAS sensors.
Suspension Repairs
Suspension components can affect vehicle ride height and geometry, potentially affecting sensor alignment.
Accident Repairs
Even relatively minor impacts can affect the position of cameras, radar units and other sensors.
What is ADAS
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, are electronic safety systems designed to help drivers monitor the road, avoid hazards and maintain control of their vehicle. Depending on the vehicle, these systems can use cameras, radar, sensors and other technology to monitor road markings, vehicles, pedestrians and other objects around the car. For these systems to work correctly, the sensors and cameras need to be accurately positioned and calibrated.
What systems use ADAS?
ADAS technology varies between manufacturers and vehicles. Common systems include:
✓ Lane Departure Warning
✓ Lane Keeping Assistance
✓ Adaptive Cruise Control
✓ Automatic Emergency Braking
✓ Forward Collision Warning
✓ Traffic Sign Recognition
✓ Parking & Surround Sensors
