Why AIS 140 GPS devices (RTO certified) are mandatory?

The Indian Government over the past few years has worked extensively to incorporate components of the globally approved standards of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This standard makes sure of optimizing the current infrastructure involved in transportation. It also increases the quality, comfort, safety and overall efficiency of the whole system. The agency came up with the Automative Indian Standard (AIS)-140 standard. Nowadays AIS 140 GPS devices are mandatory in all commercial vehicles in most of the states like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Haryana, Maharashtra, Pune, Rajasthan, Jaipur, Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, Orrisa, Bhubaneswar, Assam, Bihar, Patna, Jammu Kashmir, Sri Nagar, Andaman & Nicobar, Dehradun etc.

Under this, services such as Vehicle tracking and emergency buttons must be installed in all public transport vehicles like buses, taxis, etc. There is also scope for the addition of features such as CCTV or fare collection in future updates.
