ADAS

What is ADAS

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), are technological features that are designed to improve driver safety and prevent automotive accidents. ADAS utilizes sensors such as radar, sonar, lidar and cameras to perceive the world around the vehicle, and either provide critical information to the driver or take automatic action to avoid or mitigate the effects of a crash.

ADAS systems are designed to increase driver safety and decrease the number and/or the severity of automotive accidents. According to a study conducted by AAA foundation, ADAS has the potential to prevent 40% of all vehicle crashes, 37% of injuries and 29% of vehicular deaths.

When Is ADAS Calibration Required?

Whenever an ADAS sensor’s aiming is disrupted in any way, an ADAS calibration is required. Disruption can happen during a collision, even a minor fender bender, or as a result of common services like windshield replacement, suspension repair, or wheel alignment.

  • After Minor Collision
  • Collision Repair
  • Windshield or Side View Mirror Replacement
  • Suspension Repairs
  • Wheel Alignment
  • Sensor/Mounting Bracket Replacement
  • Change In Ride Height or Tire Size
  • Related DTC Is Present
  • Front Airbag Deployment If Deflected Off Windshield
  • ADAS-related TSBs/Manufacturer Position Statement Requirements
  • Mechanical Procedures Like Radiator and Condenser Repairs That Require Removal of Front-Mounted Sensors

ADAS APPLICATIONS. WHAT THEY ARE & WHAT THEY DO

ADAS sensors need to be precisely aimed and calibrated to function correctly. A sensor or camera even slightly out of alignment could result in its scanning area to be off-axis by 50 feet or more, which might cause it to miss hazards.
