Adas

www.motcorby.co.uk has made the leap into ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) Technology. This is becoming an essential service that is required for any vehicle fitted with this system. We have installed the most up to date Digital System out on the market to help you make your journeys with safety and confidence.

For a lot of repairs carried out on these vehicles, you will need calibration. For example a new windscreen, a new suspension part or any collision repair.

It is imperative that your vehicle receives calibration to keep your vehicle safe on the road, without it you will endanger yours and other road user's safety.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS as these systems are more commonly known, is defined as a multitude of sensors and intervention devices that gather information from the vehicle and its surroundings.

From there, it will either provide a warning to the driver, or intervene and assume control of the vehicle to avoid or mitigate an accident.

 

ADAS is becoming a familiar sight on most modern vehicles – but what does ADAS actually do? ADAS has been developed to improve road safety and driving standards. These features have been designed to avoid accidents by alerting drivers to potential hazards and in some situations, they will implement safeguards and even take control of the vehicle to ensure safety.

 

The aforementioned sensors and intervention devices are likely torequire recalibration if a component is removed and refitted or replaced,even when something as simple as steering geometry is adjusted. Very few ADAS components operate in isolation – and as long as they’re communicating, they won’t necessarily flag up any dashboard warninglights when there’s an issue. Recalibration of ADAS is typically done in one of two ways - staticcalibration, carried out in a workshop environment using diagnostic tools and target boards; or dynamic calibration, using diagnostic tools in conjunction with a prescribed driving process with specific driving and road conditions. These can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model, so obtaining and understanding the correct technical data is essential.
