Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Calibration

We’ve got it covered - throughout the UK

National Windscreens has a truly UK-wide calibration service for windscreen-mounted cameras – a critical part of the ADAS featuring in an ever increasing number of vehicles.

What is ADAS?

ADAS includes a wide range of safety features for vehicles such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning (LDW), lane keep assist, night vision cameras and adaptive lighting. By 2020, it is predicted that more than 40% of new vehicles will have at least two types of driver assistance systems fitted as standard so the need for calibration will continue to grow.

What is calibration?

Most of these ADAS features rely on windscreen-mounted cameras in order to operate effectively. So if a windscreen needs replacing then these cameras will also have to be calibrated to ensure the safety systems continue to work as intended.

108 ADAS centres

We have invested £2 million in ensuring we have the leading calibration technology available at our 108 ADAS centres so they can provide windscreen replacement and camera calibration at the same time, meaning motorists will be able to drive away after only one visit.

By providing this high number of dedicated ADAS centres, National Windscreens is underlining its belief that outstanding customer service in this sector requires local presence which means that, on average, a UK motorist will never be more than 11 miles or 20 minutes away from a National Windscreens technician.

National Windscreens is working closely with Thatcham Research on an ADAS Approved Code of Practice which is currently out for consultation and will set out how calibration should be carried out to ensure the safety features continue to work as intended, making roads safer for all users.
