What is AIS 140?
Automotive Industry Standard 140 (AIS 140) is a regulation for Intelligent Transport Systems(ITS) published by the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India).
It basically defines the Safety and Security feature requirement for all public transport vehicles that require a permit. It defines that all such vehicles must be fitted with GPS tracking devices specifically for Vehicle Location Tracking and with the function of a mandatory Emergency Button also known as panic button or SOS button.
