| THE CENTER Advanced Driver Assistance System or A.D.A.S. contributes to the safety of vehicles. When repairing vehicles with A.D.A.S. systems, it is essential to perform a calibration activity in order to maintain the functionality of the equipment and ensure its performance. The service offered at the Center consist of calibrating the various components (e.g. cameras, radars, reflector, sonar, sensors) to allow the vehicle to exercise its functions related to assisted driving. Calibration is a new specialty generated by the integration of intelligent systems in vehicles. The Center aims to collaborate with bodyshops, car dealers, mechanical workshops to include calibration activities in their repair process. Currently, the majority of bodyshops do not have the equipment, space or expertise necessary to perform this essential activity. Vehicle calibration is an essential step during minor or major repairs, and the Center aims to prepare the market to respond to this reality. The Center offers a full calibration service for all driver assistance systems for almost all vehicle models. In order to carry out the necessary calibrations, a dedicated space is needed with optimal working conditions. Specialized equipment for each make and model such as lasers, radars and reflectors are essential for the precision work. When all repairs and diagnostics have been carried out by the bodyshop, the vehicle can be delivered by towing to the Center for calibration. The sensors and cameras are aligned with the laser accuracy and measured precisely. This allows precise adjustment of the different components of the A.D.A.S. system and ensure their full performance. The mission of the Center is to collaborate with players in the automotive service industry during repairs to maintain the safety of our vehicules on our roads. |
| TREND IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY The automotive industry is constantly evolving. Technological advancements in the industry in recent years have greatly contributed to improving the convenience, safety and comfort of driving. Today we find a multitude of driver assistance systems (A.D.A.S.) integrated into todays vehicles, this trend is and will be on the rise in the years to come. The automotive industry has evolved greatly thanks to technological progress. Today, many vehicles on the road are equipped with automation functions to facilitate certain driving tasks. The use of these functions still requires careful attention and participation on the part of the driver. An automated vehicle uses a combination of sensors, controllers and on-board computers as well as advanced software that allows the vehicle to control at least certain driving functions in place of a human driver (for example, steering, braking and acceleration, checking and monitoring the driving environment). In recent years, the number of vehicles with A.D.A.S. has increased since 2015 and this trend will continue for years to come. |

| THE NEED / IRRITANTS Driver assistance systems are linked to cameras and sensors built into vehicles and are the ones that capture data on the road environment. Therefore, any minor or major repair (painting, dent removal, etc.) may affect these components and thus the performance of the systems. For example, a camera located in a bumper that has been replaced could incorrectly estimate distances. In order to rectify the situation and ensure the optimal performance of A.D.A.S. a calibration becomes necessary. This new technology has yet to be mastered in the aftermarket. Bodies are often caught with error messages or non-performing systems after a repair, confirming the need for calibration. In addition, the manufacturer (OEM) recommends that a calibration be carried out in several repair processes. Currently, most bodies do not have the equipment (separate equipment for each model / brand) and the space necessary to calibrate and return the systems to their desired performance level. In addition, this new technology requires specialised skills. |
