SAVING LIVES THANKS TO A WELL-CALIBRATED CAMERA
System intelligence integrated into more and more cars
Because the dream of a smart car has now become a reality, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (otherwise known as ADAS) can be found in a growing number of vehicles. In addition to playing an important role in the safety of drivers and road users, today's cars are far smarter than those 10 years ago, and this, all makes and models combined.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CALIBRATING THE CAMERA
To function properly, most Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely on a digital camera installed directly on the windshield at the back of the rearview mirror. For safety reasons, it is essential to trust experts with the calibration of your camera following car manufacturers’ requirements, when replacing your windshield.
The next time you file a claim for windshield replacement, keep in mind that calibration cost is included included in most Canadian insurers’ coverage plan.
5 COMMON ADAS FEATURES
The safe interaction of your vehicle with the road environment is made possible thanks to a well-calibrated camera that allows features such as emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and others to perform adequately.
 |
1. Forward collision warning (FCW)A visual or audible signal is issued to warn the driver of an impending collision. |
 |
2. Forward Automatic Emergency Braking (FAEB)A visual or audible signal is issued to warn the driver of an impending collision, and the brakes will activate automatically. |
 |
3. Lane Departure Warning (LDW)A visual or audible signal is issued to warn the driver of when the vehicle is about to steer off course. |
 |
4. Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA)A visual or audible signal is issued to warn the driver of when the vehicle is about to steer off course, and the vehicle will be automatically reinstated into its lane. |
 |
5. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)Establishes a safe distance with the vehicle in front through speed adaptation. |
If some of these features look familiar to you, it means that you are the owner of vehicle equipped with ADAS!
These systems are so widespread that they are now featured in the majority of vehicles, all models combined.
Industry experts are projecting that 100% autonomous vehicles will be on the road by 2030 and that by the end of 2020, 1 out of 5 cars will have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
