As a result, the <strong>Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)<\/strong> was developed. It includes the following:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Emergency Management<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Road Traffic Mitigation and Management<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Public Transit Management<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to this method, the transport authority can gain complete control of the nation&#8217;s entire transport network. So, the government started to develop AIS guidelines. Further, there will be an overview of the <strong>Prithvi AIS 140 Vehicle Tracking System<\/strong> developed by <strong>Watsoo Telematics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_the_AIS_140_standard_Mandatory_in_India\"><\/span>Why is the AIS 140 standard Mandatory in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Indian government has been working over the past few years to include elements of ITS in the transport sector. This standard ensures the optimal operation of the current transport infrastructure. It also increases the efficiency, safety, comfort, and quality of the system. That is why the government created the AIS-140 standard. Compliance with this standard means all vehicles used for public transit must have panic buttons and vehicle tracking modules installed. Nevertheless, in future in the standard protocol of AIS-140 you can expect fare collection and CCTV capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Basically, one of the objectives of the standard protocol is to control traffic congestion. Through ITS, however, users can get essential information, enabling them to efficiently utilize transportation networks. In addition, it also helps to improve public safety specifically in public vehicles for senior citizens, women, and children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we see the landscape of government-certified vendors in India, <strong>Prithvi AIS 140 Certified Device<\/strong> by <strong>Watsoo Telematics<\/strong> stands out prominently. The company not only aligns with the mandatory standards but also offers personalised implementation and after-sales support all at affordable rates. Additionally, it is the only device that offers a \u2018Remote Debugging\u2019 feature in the country.\u00a0 Further, we will discuss this device in detail below.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_benefits_from_using_Prithvi_AIS-140\"><\/span>Who benefits from using Prithvi AIS-140?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fleet managers prefer a vehicle tracking tool that solves their challenges.
