Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
Complete Camera Calibration as a key factor for safe driving
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are vehicle technologies that provide safer driving experiences for the vehicle, driver, passenger, and the surrounding environment. ADAS technologies are paving the road to autonomous vehicles which can run full time with only maintenance stops. ADAS' primary goal is to reduce accidents and save lives.
ADAS Technologies are commonly referred to in levels of automation:
Level 0
No automation
Full-time driver performance is executed by the human driver of all aspects of the dynamic driving task, even when enhanced by warning or intervention systems
Level 1
Driver assistance
Driving mode-specific execution by a driver assistance system of either steering or acceleration and deceleration, using information about the driving environment, with the expectation that the human driver performs all remaining aspects of the dynamic driving task
Level 2
Partial automation
Driving mode-specific execution by a driver assistance system of both steering and acceleration or deceleration using information about the driving environment and with the expectation that the human driver performs all remaining aspects of the dynamic driving task
Level 3
Conditional automation
Driving mode-specific performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task, with the expectation that the human driver will respond appropriately to a request to intervene
Level 4
High automation
Driving mode-specific performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task, even if a human driver does not respond appropriately to a request to intervene
Level 5
Full automation
Full-time performance by an automated driving system of all aspects of the dynamic driving task, under all roadway and environmental conditions that can be managed by a human driver

Two main types of ADAS calibration: Static and Dynamic
While most vehicles will require one or the other, some vehicles may require both. Here is a quick breakdown of the differences between Dynamic and Static calibrations:
Dynamic Calibration:
- Pre-determined service drive of 5 to 30 miles at set speed intervals
- Initiated through a diagnostic scan tool
- In some cases, may require a pre-alignment or static calibration before the dynamic calibration process
- Difficult during inclement weather and poses a liability for shops sending technicians to drive customer vehicles outside of the shop environment
Static Calibration:
- Placement of targets or radar reflectors at predetermined locations in a static shop environment
- Initiated through a diagnostic scan tool
- Requires fixture and targets in addition to scan tool
Importance of Accuracy and Precision
Precise recalibration is critical. Through our engineering expertise and extensive testing, gain confidence in precise measurements and trust that your customers' vehicles are recalibrated within the tightest tolerances to the strictest standards, correctly the first time.
Which use case requires ADAS services or sensor calibration?
- ? Accident repair
- ⚙️ Wheel Alignment
- ? Service
- ?? Tuning
- ? Minor repairs
