Bay Area ADAS Calibration

A 360-degree surround-view camera system is designed to give drivers confidence by providing a complete picture of what’s happening around their vehicle. From tight parking spaces to low-speed maneuvering, this feature plays a major role in everyday safety. However, the system can only work as intended when it is calibrated correctly. Precision is not optional—it's the foundation of how ADAS technology protects you. Our Concord, CA ADAS calibration facility is specially designed and equipped to perform calibrations to manufacturer standards. Correct calibration ensures that every camera mounted on the vehicle is aligned exactly to manufacturer specifications. These cameras don’t just display images; the system calculates distance, detect obstacles, and communicate with other safety systems like parking assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. Even a slight deviation in camera angle—often too small to see with the naked eye—can c ... read more

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) utilize a forward-facing camera, typically positioned near the rearview mirror, to detect lane markings and maintain vehicle centering. When functioning correctly, these systems are unobtrusive; however, malfunctions can have severe consequences. Thus, proper calibration of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is critical for safety. Calibration involves accurately aligning the camera and sensors to ensure they perceive the road as intended by the manufacturer. Even minor changes in camera angle, such as those resulting from windshield replacement, front-end repairs, or suspension changes, can adversely affect system performance, underscoring the importance of maintaining optimal camera positioning. As a matter of fact, many manufacturers now require wheel alignment before ADAS calibration is performed, because ADAS calibration aligns sensors to the vehicle’s geometric centerline (thrust angle) – if the wheels are ... read more
