Ascential Technologies offers ADAS education site

Ascential Technologies has launched a “Ask Burke Porter” web page designed to provide advice and answer questions on advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The site includes frequently asked questions and allows users to submit questions.

“We are proud to launch the new ‘Ask Burke Porter’ web page, which provides a user-friendly platform that leverages the knowledge and skillset of our certified technicians and experts to address the industry’s most pressing ADAS questions,” said Brunno Moretti, president, ADAS Solutions by Burke Porter, an Ascential Technologies offering. “The purpose of the page is to accentuate the growing importance of ADAS and deliver clear, useful information to users, reinforcing the need for proper calibrations and testing to ensure the safety and performance of vehicles on the road.”

Examples of some questions and answers currently posted on the site include:

• Has the OE designed ADAS specifications (distance, location) with “wiggle-room” for the aftermarket technician?
• What is the biggest risk of not calibrating or improperly calibrating a vehicle’s ADAS after a collision?
• How do I know when a vehicle needs ADAS calibration?

Additionally, the website also offers the Burke Porter-hosted podcast ADAS Garage, which looks at trends, challenges, and innovations in vehicle safety, with topics ranging from calibration best practices to emerging technologies.
