Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) uses advanced technology to enhance road safety. These systems use cameras and sensors to detect vehicles in blind spots, adjust speed, and alert drivers to potential hazards.
How Can Crashes Affect ADAS?
The cameras and sensors integral to ADAS can get pushed out of alignment after even a minor crash. As a result, they can no longer detect other vehicles or perform other essential functions that keep drivers and passengers safe.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
Once a vehicle has received collision repairs, ADAS calibration is the next step. It involves resetting cameras, sensors, and other equipment so it can continue to alert drivers. Keep in mind that sensors can be situated all over a vehicle, including:
- Side mirrors
- Front and rear bumpers
- Windshield
Mechanics use special diagnostic tools to bring sensors and cameras back into alignment. After calibration, body shop staff will then perform a diagnostic test to check sensor and camera angles.
