AIS140 (Automotive Industry Standard 140) is a mandatory government specification for commercial vehicles, requiring GPS tracking, panic button support, and real-time data transmission to state transport control centers.
AIS140 GPS devices include real-time tracking, panic button support, tamper alerts, route deviation alerts, overspeed warnings, backup battery, and secure data transmission as mandated by MoRTH.
AIS140 enhances safety through live location monitoring, emergency SOS activation, violation alerts, and continuous government monitoring for approved vehicle categories.
