AIS-140, or the Automotive Industry Standard 140, is a set of guidelines and specifications established by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) for vehicle tracking systems in public vehicles. The Indian government has made it mandatory to install AIS-140 in fleets to enhance passenger safety and improve the overall efficiency of public transportation services. The standard includes the installation of GPS-based on vehicle.
Real-time monitoring of the vehicle's location, speed, and route is enabled through the GPS. Aiding in better fleet management and incident response. Standardization and interoperability are promoted through AIS-140, making it easier for authorities to manage diverse vehicle fleets. The standard also emphasizes preventive maintenance by monitoring the health of vehicles, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns.
