Static Calibration
Static calibration is the process of recalibrating the sensors and cameras of an ADAS-equipped vehicle while it is stationary. This procedure typically takes place in a controlled environment, such as a repair shop or a dealership with the proper calibration tools and equipment. Static calibration is usually done when components such as cameras, radar, or sensors are replaced or realigned. This type of calibration requires the vehicle to be aligned precisely in relation to the calibration targets and tools.
Dynamic Calibration
Dynamic calibration is a more complex process than static calibration. Unlike static calibration, dynamic calibration involves driving the vehicle while the system recalibrates itself. This type of calibration requires the vehicle to be driven on a road or track under specific conditions that allow the ADAS sensors and cameras to adjust based on real-time data.
Advanced full system Calibration
In some cases, more complex systems that integrate multiple ADAS components may require a full system calibration. This calibration type combines both static and dynamic calibration processes to ensure the accuracy and functionality of various sensors and cameras that work in tandem.

Which type of calibration do I need?
Static calibration
Static calibration is most commonly required after repairs or replacements parts. Some examples include
- Bumper and Sensor Replacements: If a vehicle’s front or rear bumper is replaced or realigned, calibration may be necessary to ensure that the radar and sensors embedded in these areas are aligned correctly.
- Sensor Repositioning: If any sensors or cameras in the vehicle have been adjusted, moved, or removed during a repair or service, static calibration is necessary to ensure proper alignment.
Dynamic Calibration
Dynamic calibration is usually necessary when:
- Radar Systems: Vehicles equipped with radar sensors often require dynamic calibration. The radar needs to be aligned and calibrated during a driving test to ensure it can detect objects, vehicles, and pedestrians at the correct range and angle.
- Advanced Lane-Keeping or Lane Departure Warning Systems: These systems often require dynamic calibration because they rely on continuous road data to determine lane positions. The system may need to “learn” road features in real time to adjust its sensors accurately.
- Automatic Emergency Braking Systems: These systems often require dynamic calibration to ensure that the sensors detect obstacles and trigger braking at the correct moment.
Advanced calibration
Advanced calibration is often needed when:
- A vehicle has been involved in a major collision that affects the structure of the vehicle or the alignment of sensors and cameras.
- The vehicle has undergone extensive repairs involving multiple systems, like the collision avoidance system, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring, all of which use various sensors that need to be recalibrated.
