Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—like creating a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or mastering a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic already exists. But it’s often in another language, expensive, scattered online, lacking hands-on activities, or part of a course that’s too long for busy people. That’s why Dedika has its own method: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You’re at the center of your learning journey and know yourself best: choose the content and course length, whether you want to study online or offline, and in the format you prefer—video, text, audio, or summary. Learn your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, which you can download as a PDF and print.

Dedika for businesses

What you will learn:

You will build a thorough understanding of ADAS sensor types, vehicle network architecture, and the calibration standards that govern professional work. The course walks you through static and dynamic calibration procedures for cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors, covering correct bay setup, target placement, and scan tool operation at every step. You will learn how wheel alignment geometry affects sensor aim and how to sequence both services correctly. Advanced diagnostic modules teach you to trace complex faults using DTCs, waveform analysis, and component-level testing. You will also develop skills in calibration documentation, customer communication, and post-collision ADAS restoration workflows.

Covers radar, lidar, camera, and ultrasonic sensors and their operating principles. Connects sensor physics to the data each system needs for accurate decision-making.
Lesson 4 • ADAS Feature Interaction and Dependencies
Maps how features such as AEB, LKA, and ACC share sensor data and processing resources. Highlights failure cascades when one sensor is miscalibrated.

Chapter 2See details

Calibration Principles and Standards

Lesson 1 • OEM Calibration Specifications
Interprets manufacturer service data, tolerance tables, and calibration trigger conditions. Students locate and read OEM documentation for any target vehicle.
Lesson 2 • Static vs. Dynamic Calibration Methods
Distinguishes workshop-based static procedures from road-driven dynamic procedures. Students select the correct method based on OEM requirements and shop capability.
Lesson 3 • Measurement Theory for Calibration
Covers accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty as applied to ADAS sensors. Provides the quantitative basis for evaluating calibration quality.
Lesson 4 • Industry and Safety Standards Overview
Surveys functional safety frameworks and industry calibration guidelines that govern ADAS work. Students interpret compliance requirements without referencing jurisdiction-specific codes.

Chapter 3See details

Workshop Setup and Equipment

Lesson 1 • Bay Dimensions and Surface Requirements
Defines floor flatness, ceiling height, lighting, and clear-zone dimensions needed for accurate calibrations. Errors in bay setup are traced to downstream calibration failures.
Lesson 2 • Positioning Tools and Measurement Devices
Covers laser line projectors, measuring tapes, plumb bobs, and digital levels used to place targets precisely. Proper tool use is linked to repeatable calibration outcomes.
Lesson 3 • Calibration Target Types and Selection
Compares fixed-pattern boards, coded targets, and OEM-specific frames. Students match target type to sensor and OEM procedure.
Lesson 4 • Diagnostic Scan Tool Integration
Explains how scan tools communicate calibration commands to the vehicle ECU. Students connect, navigate menus, and interpret live data during calibration.
Lesson 5 • Vehicle Preparation Before Calibration
Details tire pressure, fuel load, suspension condition, and wheel alignment checks required before ADAS calibration begins. Skipping preparation steps is a leading cause of failed calibrations.

Chapter 4See details

Forward-Facing Camera Calibration

Lesson 1 • Post-Calibration Verification and Testing
Validates camera calibration through live video overlay checks and feature activation tests. Students document results and flag any residual deviations.
Lesson 2 • Camera Mounting and Aim Fundamentals
Explains pitch, yaw, and roll axes for camera aim and how deviations affect lane and object detection. Connects optical geometry to real-world detection errors.
Lesson 3 • Executing the Static Calibration Routine
Walks through scan tool menu navigation, image capture, and acceptance criteria for static camera calibration. Students interpret pass, fail, and retry conditions.
Lesson 4 • Dynamic Calibration Drive Procedures
Covers road conditions, speed ranges, and lane marking requirements for dynamic camera calibration. Students plan and execute a compliant drive cycle.
Lesson 5 • Static Target Placement for Cameras
Guides precise measurement and placement of calibration targets relative to vehicle centerline and camera height. Accurate placement is the single largest variable in static camera calibration.

Chapter 5See details

Radar Sensor Calibration and Alignment
