ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS INTEGRATED INTO MORE AND MORE CARS
Your current car is a lot smarter than the one you were driving ten years ago. This is true for all makes, from entry models to luxury SUVs. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly more common in vehicules… and for good reason! They greatly enhance both your safety and the safety of all others sharing the road.
THE IMPORTANCE OF RECALIBRATING 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 recalibration 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 recalibration cost is 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-recalibrated 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.
As of today, nearly one out of three vehicles is equipped with a front digital camera allowing operation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and industry experts predict that by 2025, all new vehicles will feature a digital front camera.
