What is AIS 140? Why is it Mandatory?
AIS 140 (Automotive Industry Standard 140) is a set of norms established by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) for vehicle tracking systems and emergency buttons in public service vehicles.
It's mandatory because:
- Enhances passenger safety with panic button functionality
- Provides real-time tracking of public transport vehicles
- Helps in emergency response and accident management
- Reduces vehicle theft and unauthorized use

- Mandated by the Indian government for all public service vehicles
All our AIS 140 certified devices comply with these standards and include required features like emergency buttons, over-speed alerts, and tamper detection.
How often does the device transmit location data?
The transmission frequency depends on your device model and configuration:
- Standard mode: Typically every 30 seconds to 2 minutes
- Power saving mode: Can be set to transmit every 5-30 minutes

You can customize the reporting frequency through our web portal or mobile app based on your specific needs and battery life considerations.
