What is ADAS?

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are technologies designed to support drivers and improve vehicle safety. By combining sensors, cameras and automated controls with a human-machine interface, ADAS helps reduce accidents and enhance the driving experience. These systems can detect obstacles, monitor driver inputs and, when necessary, intervene to prevent collisions.

Because most road accidents are caused by human error, ADAS technologies aim to automate, adapt and enhance driving functions. They are proven to lower the risk of crashes and fatalities by alerting drivers to hazards, applying safeguards, and even taking temporary control of the vehicle if required.

Examples of ADAS Features

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Predictive ACC
    Uses radar, lidar or cameras to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Predictive systems also integrate navigation data and forward cameras to adjust speed for bends, junctions and changing speed limits.
  • Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Lane Guidance
    A forward-facing camera tracks road markings and gently steers to keep the vehicle within its lane. Advanced versions centre the car between markings.
  • Traffic Sign Recognition
    Combines navigation data with camera input to display road signs and speed limits directly to the driver.
  • High Beam Assist
    Automatically switches between high and low beam using camera input, improving visibility without dazzling other drivers.
  • Blind Spot Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
    Uses radar or rear cameras to warn of vehicles in blind spots, or approaching traffic when reversing from driveways and parking spaces.

Why is ADAS Calibration Important?

For ADAS to function safely, its sensors and cameras must be precisely aligned. Calibration is essential if your vehicle has:

  • Been involved in a collision
  • Had a windscreen or ADAS sensor replaced
  • Undergone wheel alignment, suspension or front-end repair work
  • Triggered an ADAS fault code or warning light

In some cases, poor design or materials can cause sensor mounts to corrode or crack over time. When these components are replaced, a professional calibration ensures the system continues to operate as intended.
