Dynamic ADAS Calibration:
Dynamic calibration, or mobile calibration, means driving the vehicle under certain conditions. While the car is on the road, the ADAS system’s cameras and sensors use real-time data from the surroundings to calibrate themselves. Factors like speed, road conditions, and the environment help the system make accurate adjustments.
Static ADAS Calibration:
Static calibration is done in a controlled setting, usually inside a repair shop. The vehicle stays in one place while technicians use special equipment to adjust the ADAS cameras and sensors. They place the vehicle in front of a calibration target or use certain tools to make sure the system matches the manufacturer’s standards.
Dual ADAS Calibration for Advanced Safety Systems
After a windshield replacement, different vehicles need different types of calibration. Many cars use either static or dynamic ADAS calibration, but some need Dual ADAS Calibration. This process combines both methods to make sure all cameras and sensors are properly aligned. Dual calibration is often needed for many Subaru models, some Honda vehicles, and other brands that use several camera and radar-based safety systems.
For Dual ADAS Calibration, technicians start with a static calibration using special targets and equipment in a controlled setting. Next, they drive the vehicle in certain road conditions to finish the dynamic calibration. This lets the cameras and sensors adjust their alignment during real driving. Doing both steps helps restore important safety features like Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
