AIS 140 refers to the Automotive Industry Standard 140, which is a set of guidelines and specifications mandated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India. It outlines the requirements for the installation of a vehicle tracking system and emergency services in certain categories of vehicles in the country.
Under AIS 140, it is mandatory for certain types of vehicles, such as public transport vehicles like buses, to have an approved vehicle tracking device (AVTD) installed. The AVTD is a GPS-enabled device that provides real-time tracking of the vehicle’s location, speed, and other relevant information. It also includes features such as panic buttons, emergency response systems, and communication interfaces.
The purpose of the AIS 140 guidelines is to enhance passenger safety, improve vehicle management, and enable effective emergency services in case of an incident or breakdown.
To comply with AIS 140, vehicle owners and operators need to install approved AVTDs from certified vendors or manufacturers. These devices need to meet the specific requirements and standards set by AIS 140.
If you are a vehicle owner or operator looking to install an AIS 140 approved vehicle tracking device, it is advisable to reach out to authorized vendors or manufacturers who can provide the necessary information and ensure compliance with the guidelines outlined by MoRTH.
Please note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, it is always recommended to refer to official government sources or consult with relevant authorities for the latest regulations and requirements related to AIS 140 and approved vehicle tracking devices in India.
