In practice, driver assistance systems act as support: The Windshield Mounted Sensors gather information for example; speed limits – the distance to other vehicles and lane markings. In addition, GPS and navigation system data feeds into the processing. Thanks to this data, audio signals or visual displays can warn against potentially hazardous situations.
WHY we need to recalibrate? Because, there are already more technologically advanced systems that not only warn you but will Brake (stop) the vehicle if necessary. Some driver assistance systems accelerate or perform active steering movements to avoid an accident or take the strain off the driver, for instance in critical or monotonous driving situations.
Plus there are other systems that assist you with parking that operate off sensors that are mounted to the windshield too.
The majority of vehicles require static calibration with windshield mounted safety features. Lasers and precise measurements set sensor angles for proper safety ADAS Functionality. This service is inside shop only.
Dynamic calibration requires driving the vehicle at specified speeds and clear conditions, while connected to an ADAS scan tool — but it’s far from a test drive. Dynamic calibration varies by Manufacturer, specific parameters are needed. Examples include driving on clearly marked roads, following one or more vehicles, avoiding traffic.
