Blind Spot Monitor

What is Blind Spot Monitor?

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration feature that helps drivers detect objects in their blind spot and alert them when it’s unsafe to change lanes or merge into traffic. BSM uses sensors located around the vehicle to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes and provide visual or audible warnings if there is a potential collision risk. This helps drivers stay safe on the roads by reducing the chances of accidents caused by blind spots.

How does BSM ADAS Calibration work?

BSM ADAS Calibration works by adjusting the sensors located around the vehicle to their optimal positions so that they can detect objects in the blind spots accurately. This is done using specialized calibration tools that interface with the vehicle's computer to ensure the sensors are functioning to their full potential.

What are the benefits of BSM ADAS Calibration?

The benefits of BSM ADAS Calibration are numerous and critical. It can help prevent accidents caused by blind spots, significantly enhance driver safety, and reduce collision risks. The system monitors the vehicle's blind spots continuously, providing real-time warnings that alert drivers to potential collision risks and helping them take precautionary measures.

What kind of vehicles can benefit from BSM ADAS Calibration?

BSM ADAS Calibration technology can benefit all types of vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. However, it's most common in modern vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. Regular calibration is essential to ensure the system is functioning optimally and providing accurate alerts to drivers to reduce collision risks.

What are the steps into performing a BSM ADAS Calibration?

In order to perform a successful BMS ADAS calibration, our highly skilled technicians first connect a diagnostic scanner tool or laptop computer with appropriate software installed in order to access the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD-II). Then, they access the OBD-II data stream for sensor readings from all four corners of the vehicle before adjusting each corner sensor position until it reads within its respective manufacturer specifications. Special calibration equipment such as laser alignment systems or camera vision systems can then be used to fine tune each corner sensor positions for optimal performance. Lastly, they take the car out on a test drive at various speeds and directions while monitoring real time information.
