We Actually Calibrate Your Vehicle
The unfortunate fact is that some glass companies will tell you they calibrated your safety sensors but then they’ll skip it. This is both dangerous and irresponsible – they do it because it’s easy, not safe.
Calibrations Types: Static, Dynamic, or Both
ADAS calibration can be performed in three main ways:
Static Calibration
What is Static Calibration?
Static Calibration is conducted in a controlled environment using specialized equipment to align cameras and sensors with manufacturer specifications. It requires precisely aligning one, or a series of, targets to an exact position relative to the vehicle. Then calibration of the cameras and software is performed based on those positioned targets.
This aligns the ADAS systems in the vehicle ensuring they correctly understand the positioning of objects in the real world.
Dynamic Calibration
What is Dynamic Calibration?
Dynamic Calibration is conducted by driving the vehicle while it is placed in calibration mode. The vehicle must be driven according to set specifications and must encounter a checklist of real-world conditions and objects while on that drive or the calibration will not pass. Once all conditions are met, the calibration is passed and the vehicle’s system adjusts using the real-world data captured on the road.
Combination Calibration
What is Static & Dynamic Calibration?
Some vehicles require both static and dynamic calibrations for full system accuracy. These vehicles first require a Static calibration to be performed, then the Dynamic calibration must follow. This allows the vehicle to have the benefits of both types of calibration, as well as the ability to do a self-check that both calibration types produce the same final settings. If something isn’t right with either type of calibration, results won’t match and it will not pass. While this is more work, it can be argued that it is the most thorough method of calibration.
What type is needed?
Important: The type of calibration that is required for your vehicle is determined by the manufacturer and cannot be changed based on preference.
For a detailed explanation of the calibration process and standards, refer to the AGSC.
