ADAS Service Training & Calibration Services

Connie & Dick’s Owner, Scott Brown has partnered with AESwave.com and is providing hands-on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems training for their customers at the C&D facility.

   

Service training includes restricted access to an extensive training video to be consumed prior to attending the full-day hands-on service training course.

Training is offered at no charge for customers purchasing ADAS support tool systems from AESwave.com. (1)

 

The private session is typically held on a Saturday and runs from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. 

 

Students will receive an in-depth overview of machine vision perception systems including live demonstrations of an AI computer using cameras to detect and classify objects. We will also demonstrate RADAR and LiDAR and the various tools that can be used by engineers to help the vehicle systems navigate complex environments which enable them to intelligently understand and deal with objects residing in the world coordinates around the vehicle. A great part of the session will be performing hands-on calibration procedures, failure analysis, case studies, and diagnostics on late-model vehicles. We will also cover Toyota Motor Corporation vehicles by covering VCH and RoB and how Techstream can be used to access historic vehicle information including image sequence recordings. Additionally, we will discuss best practices and workflow documentation processes.

 

The calibration service routines performed during training are the same services typically required following services such as windshield replacement, wheel alignment & suspension repair, tire size changes, collision repair, and service events where major vehicle disassembly is required.

The forward-facing camera (FFC) which typically supports functions such as LKAS, LTA, LDW, ACC may require either a static or dynamic calibration routine to be carried out. Radar sensors which are used to support various ADAS features such as AEB, ACC, RCTA, BSM, and more, may also require similar calibration procedures.

ADAS Service Training

Technicians today are seeing more and more vehicles populated with various activate safety systems used to support Advanced Driver Assistance Operations such as ACC – Adaptive Cruise Control, AEB – Automated Emergency Braking, LDW – Lane Departure Warning, BSM – Blind Spot Monitoring and more. Many of the service operations such as collision repair, whindshield replacement, suspension/alignment repair, etc, performed on these late model vehicles vehicle may now require additional service steps to be carried out after service to ensure that these active safety systems are performing optimally.

ADAS Visuals for Training on Perception Systems

Check out this video training session presented at the 2020 California Automotive Teachers Conference on October 17th. Scott Brown provided educators with information on some of the visual tools he and AESwave use in their ADAS training courses.

Static Camera Calibration - Time Lapse

After completing this session you will be able to perform ADAS calibrations with more proficiency and confidence. 

This video shows a complete end-to-end static 3-step sequential forward facing camera calibration operation on a 2021 Toyota Rav4 after the windshield was replaced.

Neural Nets, Object Detection, Classification

ADAS need to be able to ensure public safety. To do this a number of AI methodologies are used to protect vulnerable road users (VRUs). The on-board perception systems need to be able to 1st identify and then react. Service personnel interacting with these systems must ensure proper calibration and operations before placing the vehicle back into service.

LiDAR - Light Detection and Ranging

This visual demo shows the LiDAR imager creating a 3D point cloud map of the environment.

Radar Sensors

Gain a deeper understanding on how radar sensors work and how they’re used to help the vehicle on-board perception systems understand the space around the vehicle.

Some vehicle services require that the radar sensor be recalibrated such as following a wheel alignment, sensor removal, sensor replacement, etc. Performing these calibrations will help to increase the accuracy and overall performance of the radar sensor so that it can support the system operational design domain (ODD).

Camera Systems

Vehicles can be equipped with mono or stereo type camera systems. Stereo camera systems can increase the depth perception and assist the neural system by an order of magnitude with object detection and classification. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Subaru and Tesla use such cameras. In fact, Subaru’s system is called Eye-Sight and can support adaptive cruise control operations without equipping the vehicle with a forward-facing radar sensor module.

Radar Demonstration

The animation you see here is from a development board we use during ADAS education as part of the AESwave training program. The chart on the left is the azimuth range plot and the chart on the right is demonstrating the power being reflected back form the two calibration trihedral reflectors we have placed in the scene. This is similar to what takes place when the ACC radar sensor requires calibration on a vehicle.
