What Are Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are sophisticated technologies designed to enhance vehicle safety and driver experience. These systems use a combination of sensors, cameras, and radar to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and assist the driver in various ways. ADAS technologies have become increasingly common in modern vehicles, ranging from basic features like parking sensors to more complex systems like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warnings. The primary goal of ADAS is to reduce human error, which is responsible for the majority of road accidents. By alerting drivers to potential hazards or even taking corrective action in certain situations, ADAS significantly improves road safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
What ADAS Features Exist in My Car?
Modern vehicles come equipped with a wide array of ADAS features, each designed to enhance safety and convenience. Here’s a list of common ADAS technologies you might find in your car:
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting to traffic flow.
- Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver when the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
- Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects potential collisions and applies the brakes if the driver doesn’t respond in time.
- Blind Spot Detection: Warns the driver of vehicles in adjacent lanes that may not be visible in mirrors.
- Forward Collision Warning: Alerts the driver to potential front-end collisions.
- Parking Assistance Systems: Help drivers park safely using sensors and cameras.
- Traffic Sign Recognition: Identifies and displays road signs on the dashboard.
- Pedestrian Detection: Recognizes pedestrians and cyclists, warning the driver or applying brakes if necessary.
- Night Vision Assist: Enhances visibility in low-light conditions using infrared cameras.
- Driver Drowsiness Detection: Monitors driver behavior and suggests breaks when signs of fatigue are detected.
These advanced driver assistance systems work together to create a safer driving experience, reducing the likelihood of accidents and improving overall road safety.

We then perform static calibrations or dynamic calibrations as needed, always adhering to OEM specifications to maintain your vehicle’s warranty and optimal performance.
Why Does My ADAS System Need to Be Calibrated After a Windshield Replacement?
Windshield replacement is more complex than ever due to the integration of ADAS technology. Many ADAS features, such as forward collision warning and lane departure systems, rely on cameras mounted behind the windshield. When a windshield is replaced, these cameras can become misaligned, even if only slightly. This misalignment can cause ADAS systems to malfunction, potentially compromising your safety on the road. That’s why windshield calibration is a crucial step in the windshield replacement process. At our calibration center, we use specialized ADAS calibration equipment and OEM software to precisely realign your vehicle’s cameras and sensors. This step guarantees that your ADAS systems continue to function as designed, providing accurate warnings and assistance.
