About ADAS
Common ADAS systems & features
Automatic Emergency Braking
Automatically engages braking system when an impeding collision is detected.
Blind Spot Detection
Monitors blind spots and alerts driver when an obstacle is present.
Lane Departure Warning
Alerts driver when they have drifted from their designated lane without proper signaling.
Adaptive Headlights
Adjusts lamp’s brightness and/or positioning to improve visibility in low light conditions.
Pedestrian Detection
Alerts driver when a pedestrian has been detected in their path of travel.
Collision Avoidance System
Detects risk of collision and automatically engages brake system to avoid crash.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Detects risk of collision and automatically engages brake system to avoid crash.

What Affects ADAS?
Cars come equipped with more adaptive technology and safety features every year. These systems are designed to keep drivers safe during moments when they lose focus or control. Some advanced driver assistance systems, like anti-lock brakes, come standard on most cars. Other systems, like adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection or park assist, are add-on features of newer model vehicles, although some of these safety features are increasingly standard on certain makes and models.
Many ADAS features rely on the windshield for example, to show a heads-up display of vehicle information like speed or lane departure warnings. Sensors and cameras also use the windshield to view surrounding obstacles. Replacing your windshield can throw off the sensors in ADAS, which can be dangerous.
In addition to windshield replacements, new tires, new headlights and brake work can also throw off ADAS system calibration. If you replace a bumper or add any aftermarket vehicle accessories, calibration may be necessary. Winter or muddy driving conditions can temporarily affect these systems, as well, when debris covers sensors on bumpers, car panels or windshields.
What OUR ADAS CALIBRATION EXPERTS do?
Pre scan
All vehicles undergo a complete diagnostic scan prior to any calibrations. This scan identifies any existing or nonrelated fault codes
ALIGNMENT
If required, the vehicle then has a full 4-wheel alignment check. The equipment used can also identify any chassis misalignment.
CALIBRATE
Once satisfied the vehicle is aligned, the calibration process can be undertaken. Multiple radars, lidars and cameras may require calibration.
POST SCAN
An initial post calibration scan is conducted.
ROAD TEST
The vehicle is road tested to check for nonconformity and to ensure ADAS systems are operational.
FINAL SCAN
Upon return to site the vehicle then has a final diagnostic check to ensure no fault codes have activated during road test.
REPORT
A comprehensive report is supplied for each vehicle along with a certificate of calibration.
FACTS
ADAS reduces the number of accidents.
ADAS significantly reduces the number of accidents. According to the National Safety Council, here are figures that illustrate the reduction of crashes, thanks to ADAS.
According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety:
Forward collision warnings and automatic emergency braking systems have the potential to prevent:
29%
of crashes
29%
of injuries
14%
of deaths
Lane departure warnings and lane keeping assistance systems have the potential to prevent:
7%
of crashes
6%
of injuries
14%
of deaths
Blind spot monitoring systems have the potential to prevent:
5%
of crashes
3%
of injuries
1%
of deaths
PROCESS
OUR PROCESS
Accuracy is essential when performing an ADAS calibration. Our four-step process was developed to ensure precision and accuracy every time in NJ. Each vehicle that comes into our facility for calibrations is taken through this process in its entirety to guarantee all ADAS features are fully operational, and the vehicle is safe to return to the road
STEP 1
Pre-Calibration Diagnostic Scan
Performing a diagnostic scan prior to calibration allows us to assess
the vehicle in its current state and diagnose potential ADAS issues.
a. Identify ADAS systems on each vehicle
b. Identify what ADAS Systems were affected by the accident
c. Identify what ADAS Systems were affected by the repair process
STEP 2
Wheel Alignment Verification
Proper wheel alignment is required before performing ADAS calibration on a vehicle.
a. Validate Tire Pressure
b. Thrust Line Verification
c. Initial structural measurement
d. Validate ride height
e. Confirm steering angle sensor
f. Perform any necessary repairs
STEP 3
Calibration
Fuel level and ride height affect calibration so we are sure validate the current status of these factors as part of the calibration process.
a. Validate Fuel Level (Compensation weight added when not a full
tank)
b. Validate Ride Height
c. Vehicle calibration(s)
d. Test Drive
e. Final health check/scan
STEP 4
Health Check (Post Scan)
No calibration is complete without the documentation to support it! We complete a post scan of the vehicle and provide you with reports validating all work that has been performed.
a. Complete post scan
b. Provide documented certification of calibration
