WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADAS CALIBRATIONS AND ARE THEY BRAND SPECIFIC?

Depending on vehicle type, either a Stationary or Dynamic calibration procedure is required (in some vehicle types both are required) to calibrate ADAS sensors to vehicle modules.

  •  Stationary calibrations are completed in a shop environment and requires the use of targets or patterns to complete.
  •  Dynamic calibrations require the vehicle to be driven on roadways for a certain amount of time with well-maintained road markings.
OTHER THAN A CLEAR 30 FOOT X 15 FOOT AREA, WHAT ARE THE OTHER WORKING SHOP BAY REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLETE ADAS CALIBRATIONS?
