Examples of ADAS Sensors to Calibrate
Every ADAS component plays a crucial role, and seemingly minor discrepancies can have significant consequences. For instance, if the ADAS cameras or radar deviate by just half a degree from the manufacturer's requirements, it may seem acceptable in the shop, but it can lead to critical errors. When it comes to braking for a pedestrian crossing the street, even inches can make a profound difference between avoiding a major accident and causing one. Such slight deviations can affect the accuracy of ADAS in detecting obstacles, potentially leading to misinterpretations of the surroundings and jeopardizing safety.
Please note that these are examples. The technicians at Universal Calibration Services can better walk you through what sensors your make and modle may have. Call us at 919-772-4727 and we will help you!
COLLISION WARNING
Blind Spot Monitoring
Identifies vehicles within the blind spot during driving and alerts the driver to their presence. Certain systems also issue an extra warning if the driver activates the turn signal.
Forward Collision Warning
Identifies vehicles within the blind spot during driving and alerts the driver to their presence. Certain systems also issue an extra warning if the driver activates the turn signal.
Lane Departure Warning
Observes the vehicle's position within the driving lane and notifies the driver as the vehicle nears or crosses lane markers.
Parking Collision Warning
Identifies objects near the vehicle during parking maneuvers and alerts the driver accordingly.
Rear Cross Traffic Warning
Identifies vehicles approaching from the rear side of the vehicle while in reverse gear and notifies the driver. Certain systems also provide warnings for pedestrians or other obstacles.
COLLISION INTERVENTION
Automatic Emergency Braking
Identifies potential collisions with vehicles ahead, issues forward collision warnings, and automatically applies brakes to prevent or mitigate the impact. Certain systems also recognize pedestrians or other obstacles.
Automatic Emergency Steering
Identifies potential collisions with vehicles ahead and automatically adjusts steering to avoid or reduce the impact severity. Certain systems also recognize pedestrians or other obstacles.
Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking
Identifies potential collisions while in reverse gear and automatically applies brakes to prevent or mitigate the impact. Certain systems also detect pedestrians or other objects.
DRIVING CONTROL ASSISTANCE
Adaptive Cruise Control
Enhanced cruise control that aids in both acceleration and braking to uphold a driver-selected distance from the vehicle ahead. Certain systems have the capability to bring the vehicle to a complete stop and resume, while others do not.
Lane Keeping Assistance
Offers steering assistance to aid the driver in keeping the vehicle within the lane boundaries, preventing unintentional departures. Some systems additionally help maintain the vehicle's position at the center of the lane.
Active Driving Assistance
Delivers simultaneous steering and brake/acceleration assistance to the driver. The driver is required to continuously oversee this supportive feature and uphold responsibility for driving.
PARKING ASSISTANCE
Backup Camera
Shows the rear area of the vehicle when in reverse gear.
Surround View Camera
Shows the immediate surroundings of one or multiple sides of the vehicle while stationary or during low-speed maneuvers.
Active Parking Assistance
Aids in steering and potentially other functions during parking maneuvers. The driver may need to control acceleration, braking, and/or select gear position. Some systems can facilitate both parallel and/or perpendicular parking. The driver must continually oversee this supportive feature and remain responsible for parking.
Remote Parking
Enables steering, braking, accelerating, and/or gear selection to move a vehicle into or out of a parking space without the driver being physically present inside the vehicle. The driver must continuously supervise this supportive feature and retain responsibility for parking.
OTHER DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Automatic High Beams
Automatically toggles between high and low beam headlamps depending on lighting and traffic conditions.
Driver Monitoring
Monitors driver behavior to assess if they are not actively engaged in the driving task. Certain systems may track eye movement and/or head position.
Head-Up Display
Displays driving-relevant information directly into the driver's forward line of sight.
Night Vision
Enhances nighttime forward visibility by projecting improved images onto the instrument cluster or head-up display.
