PRO ADAS Calibration

What is A.D.A.S.?

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are groups of electronic technologies that assist drivers in driving and parking functions. Through a safe human-machine interface, ADAS increase car and road safety. ADAS use automated technology, such as sensors and cameras, to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors, and respond accordingly. As most road accidents occur due to human error, ADAS are developed to automate, adapt, and enhance vehicle technology for safety and better driving. ADAS are proven to reduce road fatalities by minimizing human error. Safety features are designed to avoid accidents and collisions by offering technologies that alert the driver to problems, implementing safeguards, and taking control of the vehicle if necessary. Adaptive features may automate lighting, provide adaptive cruise control, assist in avoiding collisions, incorporate satellite navigation and traffic warnings, alert drivers to possible obstacles, assist in lane departure and lane centering, provide navigational assistance through smartphones, and provide other features.

Driver Experiences With ADAS Systems

As technology becomes more complex, so does the automotive industry. No longer is repairing a vehicle as simple as replacing parts, painting, and sending it off to the customer. Instead, multi-faceted safety systems called ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) in vehicles 2014 and newer require recalibrating in the event of a collision.

What is A.D.A.S. calibration?

ADAS calibration involves aligning these sensing devices in your car so that they function properly. A dynamic calibration process will require the technician to take your car out for a drive, while a static calibration process uses specialist tools to calibrate the ADAS while your car is stationary.

Why This Matters

All of these new technologies on your car help make the world a safer place to drive. They are designed to assist in accident avoidance on the road, with the help of pre-collision braking, blind spot systems, adaptive cruise control, night vision, front radar, and other ADAS systems.

However, in the event of a collision, these systems are no longer operating at OEM specifications. To ensure that your car’s safety systems return to factory settings, it is imperative that they are re-calibrated to specific and rigorous standards.

An improperly calibrated ADAS system is at a high risk of malfunctioning while you’re driving, defeating its original purpose of safety on the road.

How We Ensure Driver Safety

To ensure driver safety, we calibrate to specific OEM standards, and our shops are laboratory-like in setting. Our shops are proud to say that we comply with the following standards in both calibrations and our shops :

· Leveled floor to OEM specifications

· 13,000 lumen lights that are dimmable and evenly spread throughout the calibration space

· No outside lighting can enter the shop

· No metal or reflective objects inside the shop

· PPG OEM paint color on the shop floor for camera calibrations

· Accurate to the millimeter calibrations to the spec of OE procedures

· State-of-the-art calibration equipment
