What Is ADAS Calibration?
Advanced driver assistance systems work with camera, sensor, or radar equipment to provide various safety enhancements, such as:
Pedestrian detection systems gather data about a vehicle’s surroundings and alert drivers of potential risks so they can take action. Once it detects a pedestrian, bicyclist, or animal, the system provides an audible, visual, or haptic warning. Some higher-grade vehicles also engage an automatic emergency braking system.
Like the pedestrian detection system, traffic sign recognition identifies speed limit, “do not enter,” and stop signs. The information then displays a graphic or icon representation of the sign through the information cluster, infotainment screen, or another display. It helps to increase driver focus on the road.
Although switching lanes doesn’t always lead to an accident, the lack of using turn signals increases the risk. Lane departure warning systems set off an alarm if drivers venture from one lane into another without using their blinker.
Lane keep assist works with lane departure warning systems and automatically steers vehicles back into the center of the lane once the warning signal sounds. It’s beneficial when a driver doesn’t have enough time to react.
The forward collision alert system monitors the distance between a vehicle’s front bumper and the car ahead. If the space becomes too short, the system alerts drivers with a warning signal, alerting them of a potential impending collision.
Traditional cruise control allows drivers to travel long distances at a consistent speed without touching the accelerator. Pressing the brakes would then turn off the system. Adaptive cruise control still helps drivers maintain speed but also adjusts the pace depending on the distance to the car ahead.
The implementation of ADAS in vehicles has proven to reduce accidents and keep drivers focused on the road. However, since the technology mounts to the windshield, vehicle manufacturers recommend calibrating your ADAS after a replacement. Our trained technicians can restore your systems according to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards.
The Importance of Windshield Camera Calibration
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) rely on the precise positioning of cameras, sensors, and radar equipment mounted on your windshield. Even minor changes to the windshield can disrupt these sensitive components. Professional recalibration is essential for safety, as these systems won’t automatically adjust themselves. Without proper expert calibration, the ADAS may malfunction, potentially leading to accidents instead of preventing them.
Your safety depends on properly calibrated ADAS systems, which require professional service after any windshield work. At Martin Glass, the premier glass company in Missouri and Illinois, we offer both windshield replacement and camera calibration in a single visit.
