What is an AIS 140 GPS device?
AIS 140 is an Indian standard for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in public transport, such as buses and taxis. A device built to it is often called a VLTD, short for vehicle location tracking device. It sends the vehicle's position to a tracking platform and carries an emergency (SOS or panic) input.
Which vehicles need an AIS 140 device depends on the vehicle category, its permit and your state's transport rules. We do not give a general answer, because it changes by vehicle and state. Please check with your RTO before you buy, then tell us what your RTO asked for.
The Satcop AIS 140 GPS device and IRNSS support
As described on the Satcop website:
- Designed to meet AIS 140 standards, with multi-GNSS support for GPS, GLONASS and IRNSS (GAGAN), plus AGPS.
- Safety I/O: SOS/panic, immobilization, and ignition, door and tamper alerts.
- Driver behavior: an accelerometer and gyroscope give harsh braking and harsh acceleration alerts.
- Connectivity: quad-band GPRS with embedded antennas.
- Offline storage and battery backup: the device stores data when the network drops and keeps running for a time on its backup battery.
- Optional integrations: a fuel sensor and an RFID / Mi-Fare card reader.
IRNSS is India's regional navigation satellite system, also known as NavIC. Because the device can use GPS, GLONASS and IRNSS, it is not tied to a single satellite system.
AIS 140 for trucks and commercial vehicles
For a truck, a taxi or a goods carrier, the AIS 140 device does the same daily work as any good tracker. Each vehicle shows on a live map, alerts reach the office, and trip history is kept for later. What it adds is the SOS input and the safety alerts.
- Trucks and goods carriers: pair the device with a fuel sensor to watch the tank level and spot fuel theft. For trucks that do not need AIS 140, see our GPS tracker for trucks.
- Taxis and cabs: the SOS input and door and ignition alerts suit vehicles that carry passengers every day.
- Buses and contract carriages: live location and driver behavior alerts help the operator see how each trip is driven.
All vehicles report to Satcop's fleet tracking software on web and mobile, with live maps, notifications and history reports.
