Taking a step towards the betterment of Indian Public and Commercial Transportation, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has come up with an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) which is a segment of Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) – 140. Before we discuss what new surprises AIS-140 has reserved for you, it is important to understand what is AIS 140 standard and what are its benefits.

What is AIS-140?

The Indian government made it mandatory for all public and commercial vehicles that commute people to get AIS-140 certified vehicle trackers, camera surveillance and emergency request buttons. The vehicle tracking systems installed in vehicles are for transmitting the location of the vehicle in real-time along with all other vehicle related metrics and thus, meet all the criteria of comfort, safety, efficiency and quality of service.

Benefits of AIS-140

1. Ensuring safety and comfort with real-time vehicle tracking, driver behavior monitoring, cost optimization solutions and many other.
2. Vehicles will be attached with a vehicle tracking server manned by the Indian government and thus, ensuring easy compliance.
3. Cloud-based data storage will help vehicle owners with real-time vehicle updates coming from a tracking device that is fitted to the vehicles.
4. The Vehicle Tracking System will pop up an alert when the tracking device is being tampered.
5. The fleet managers will be able to know about the fuel consumption, engine health, idling, etc., and ensure fleet maintenance right on time.
6. The vehicle tracking system will allow the driver to map out the routes, thus taking the shortest route in the minimum time possible.
7. The system empowers fleet managers to monitor driver behavior remotely, and thus, eliminating the traffic rules flouting, drunk driving, over speeding, etc.

Therefore, the benefits of this mandate, i.e. AIS-140 have heightened public safety, efficiency, and optimizing the public transport system. For more information regarding AIS-140 Tracking Solutions, you can reach us.
