AIS 140 GPS is a government-approved tracking device that helps rental taxi operators improve safety, efficiency, and compliance. AIS 140 GPS devices track the location of vehicles in real time, providing operators with insights into driver behavior and vehicle performance. This information can be used to improve driver safety, reduce fuel costs, and comply with government regulations.
AIS 140 compliant device used Global Positioning System, Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System and GSM/General Packet Radio Service modem for vehicle tracking. In addition it can have a provison for hybrid navigation constellations such as GLONASS, and Galileo (satellite navigation). In January 2019, Indian government directed all the state governments to enforce AIS 140 compliant GPS tracking devices with the supporting software for all passenger-carrying buses and other public transport vehicles.
The main objective of AIS 140 is to improve the safety and efficiency of road transportation in India. The standards cover a wide range of aspects, including:
1: Vehicle tracking and monitoring
2: Traffic management
3: Public transport management
4: Mining industry
AIS 140 is an important step in the development of an intelligent transportation system in India. The standards will help to improve the safety and efficiency of road transportation, and will make it easier for transportation authorities to manage traffic and respond to emergencies.
