At Car Key we understand the importance of safety and efficiency on the road. That's why we offer a specialized car calibration service that ensures your vehicle performs optimally and remains safe. In this blog we explain what car calibration means and why it is essential, especially in relation to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
What is ADAS?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, advanced driver assistance systems that are increasingly found in modern cars. These systems contribute to road safety and prepare us for the arrival of self-driving cars. Examples of ADAS systems include Lane Keeping System (LKS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Brake Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition and Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA).
How Do ADAS Systems Work?
ADAS systems rely on a network of sensors and cameras mounted in various places throughout the car. These act as the car's senses, registering everything that happens around the car and passing this information on to the central computer. The computer uses smart software to determine when which action is required, for example automatic braking when the distance to the vehicle in front is too small.
Calibration of the ADAS camera
A crucial part of the operation of ADAS systems is the calibration of the ADAS camera. These cameras must be calibrated within certain parameters, for example when installing tires with a different diameter or when replacing the windscreen. Before calibrating the camera, wheel alignment and tire pressure should also be checked and adjusted if necessary.
Static or Dynamic Calibration
Depending on the vehicle, the camera calibration can be static or dynamic. With dynamic calibration, the camera is calibrated while driving using a diagnostic device. Static calibration takes place in the workshop with special calibration tools and measuring equipment.
