Overview of ADAS

Today, vehicles are outfitted with the latest and greatest in ADAS safety technology. The systems that fall into this category include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and rear cross traffic alert (plus many more). ADAS is made possible by a combination of sensors, cameras, lasers, and radars that helps drivers maneuver various driving and parking situations. When ADAS detects an imminent threat, it notifies the driver via a visual or audible cue. For example, a car icon will illuminate in the corresponding side mirror if a vehicle has entered your blind spot area with the blind spot monitoring system enabled. Each system is intricately designed and needs to be correctly calibrated and aligned in order to operate as intended.

What Does ADAS Calibration Mean?

ADAS calibration is a complex process that ensures the ADAS is in the proper alignment according to OEM specifications. If it’s not, it runs the risk of causing the vehicle to respond inaccurately and create a potentially dangerous situation. For example, a camera or sensor that isn’t correctly calibrated can miscalculate an object by several feet. Worst case, the ADAS may fail altogether. Calibration is often needed after a collision repair or major services, such as windshield replacement, suspension repair, or wheel alignment. If your airbag deployed, tires were replaced, or ride height was adjusted, ADAS calibration will also be required. Basically, any scenario where the cameras, sensors, lasers, or radars could have been disturbed should have a calibration completed.
