Enhance Safety with Precise Services

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are intelligent systems integrated into vehicles to enhance driver safety and assist with driving tasks.

These systems use a combination of sensors, cameras, radars, and AI to interpret surroundings and provide real-time feedback or to control inputs. ADAS systems can perform functions such as automatic braking, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot detection, making driving safer and more convenient.

As an essential aspect of modern automotive safety, ADAS can be seen as a stepping stone towards fully autonomous vehicles. By assisting with tasks and monitoring surroundings, these systems reduce the risk of human error, which is a leading cause of traffic accidents worldwide.

ADAS Yorkshire is conveniently located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, easily accessible for customers needing radar calibration services.

ADAS relies heavily on sensors, cameras, and radars that are meticulously positioned and calibrated to work accurately. Calibration ensures that these sensors are properly aligned and functioning as intended. If a vehicle undergoes repairs, such as a windscreen replacement or bodywork, the ADAS sensors and cameras may become misaligned, leading to inaccurate readings.

Failure to recalibrate ADAS after repairs or an accident can result in:

Incorrect functioning of features like lane departure warnings.
Increased braking distances with automatic emergency braking (AEB).
Reduced accuracy in adaptive cruise control and collision warnings.
Accurate calibration ensures optimal performance and guarantees the safety features work precisely, reducing the risk of accidents.

There are two main types of ADAS calibration: static and dynamic.

Static ADAS calibration is where most vehicles will begin calibration. This method is done in a controlled environment such as a workshop. Specialized equipment and targets are used to adjust the sensors while the vehicle is stationary. Static calibration often applies to radar-based systems and requires precise alignment tools.

Dynamic Calibration: Many vehicles will require static, and then dynamic ADAS calibration to ensure full ADAS functionality, and some only dynamic calibration. This process requires the vehicle to be driven on the road. The system self-calibrates based on data gathered during real-world driving conditions. During dynamic calibration, the vehicle must be driven at specific speeds on predetermined types of roads to ensure the sensors can adapt to real-world variables.

Yes, it's recommended to schedule an appointment to ensure prompt service and reduce waiting times at our Dewsbury centre.

Before bringing your vehicle to us for this service, please ensure the following:
 • The vehicle must be emptied of all tools, luggage, and any unnecessary items.
 • The fuel tank must be at least three-quarters full prior to the procedure.
 • If your vehicle has been involved in an accident or has been lowered, please ensure that a thorough wheel alignment has been completed beforehand.
 • For lowered vehicles, there must be a minimum clearance of 20mm between the wheel arch and the wheel to allow for clamp installation. Without sufficient clearance, we will be unable to perform the service.
