COMMITTED TO SAFETY
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), once viewed as the future of automotive safety, have now become the industry standard.
With most modern vehicles equipped with multiple ADAS features, the demand for precise and dependable calibrations has never been greater. Guardian Calibrations is proud to set the standard in automotive repair, delivering accuracy and reliability with every service.
Because your vehicle’s safety is your highest priority, we’ve made it ours as well.
What is ADAS?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, refers to automotive technology designed to improve safety on the road through danger warnings and at times, operator assistance.
ADAS can be found in most modern vehicles and include features you’re probably already familiar with. The addition of ADAS has helped to improve safety for drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike by increasing driver control and minimizing human error behind the wheel.
Popular ADAS Systems
-
Blind Spot Monitor – sensors in the rear bumper and displays warning icons in both side mirrors
-
Automatic Emergency Braking – forward facing ADAS camera or radar detects crash risks and automatically applies the vehicle’s brakes
-
Pedestrian Detection – detects an imminent collision with a pedestrian and autonomously applies the brakes or alerts the driver
-
Adaptive Cruise Control – cruise control setting that will slow down and pace a vehicle with the one in front of it
-
Traffic Sign Recognition – video cameras detect some types of road signs and display them on a dashboard
-
Lane Departure Warning – provides drivers with an alert when they drift out of their lane unintentionally
-
Lane Keeping Assist – provides steering assistance to keep drivers in their lane
IMPORTANCE OF ADAS CALIBRATION
WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COMES THE NEED FOR ADVANCED, PRECISE REPAIRS
ADAS sensors can be compromised by several situations ranging from vehicle collisions to common services and repairs (such as windshield replacement or realignment). When a sensor is affected, the ADAS loses dependability and calibration (or recalibration) becomes a necessity.
Calibration needs are dependent on vehicle and situation and more often than not, they are undetectable by the naked eye. For this reason, it’s important each situation is addressed with modern technology, special training and a precise process.
OUR FACILITY
WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COMES THE NEED FOR ADVANCED, PRECISE REPAIRS
At APEX Calibrations, our facilities are selected based on criteria that is outlined by OEM’s. Each location is built out to have multiple, dedicated ADAS calibration bays, certified level flooring and are equipped with tools that meet requirements necessary for accurate calibrations. This type of controlled environment is essential to perform successful, precise calibrations, free from obstruction and interference that often comes with a traditional auto repair shop environment, or mobile calibration service.
