Benefits of AIS 140 Certified GPS Tracker

Real-time Location Tracking & Route Optimisation:

This certified device provide real-time tracking of vehicles, allowing for accurate monitoring of their locations and enabling businesses to optimize routes for improved efficiency and cost savings.

Emergency Button (PANIC/SOS):

AIS 140 devices include an emergency button for drivers to send distress signals during emergencies, accidents or breakdowns.

Speed Monitoring:

The device can monitor vehicle speeds and send alerts if predefined speed limits are exceeded, promoting safer driving practices.

Geo-fencing:

These AIS 140 GPS trackers enable the creation of virtual boundaries, with alerts generated when vehicles enter or exit predefined areas, enhancing security and monitoring capabilities.

Fuel Monitoring & Tamper Alerts

Some AIS 140 devices integrate with the vehicle’s fuel system, providing real-time fuel data and tamper alerts for added security.

Data Logging:

Historical data is logged, providing insights into vehicle operations, including routes, idle time, fuel consumption, running kilometers and overall performance.

Driver Behaviour Analysis:

The device records driving behavior such as harsh braking, sharp turns, and acceleration patterns, facilitating driver training and safety improvements.

Regulatory Compliance:

AIS 140 certification mandates the installation of these devices in specific commercial vehicles to ensure government standards compliance. This helps businesses avoid legal complications and penalties.

How the AIS 140 Emergency Button Workflow Works

The AIS 140 emergency button helps fleet operators and monitoring teams receive quick alerts during a safety incident, emergency, accident, route risk, passenger distress situation, or vehicle breakdown.

Workflow:

  • The passenger or driver presses the panic button.
  • The AIS 140 VLTD captures vehicle ID, GPS location, timestamp, speed, and emergency event data.
  • The alert is transmitted through the configured cellular network.
  • The alert reaches the backend platform or monitoring workflow.
  • Fleet admin or control room users can view the emergency location and vehicle details.
  • The event is stored for audit, reporting, and compliance review.

Note: Emergency alert routing may vary by state, vehicle category, backend configuration, network availability, and authority workflow.

AIS 140 VLTD Data Flow: From Vehicle to Monitoring Dashboard

An AIS 140 vehicle location tracking device collects vehicle location, speed, route movement, emergency button events, and tracking data. This data is transmitted to the backend platform so fleet teams can monitor vehicles, generate reports, and respond to alerts

Data Flow:

Vehicle → AIS 140 VLTD → SIM / Cellular Network → Trinetra Backend → Fleet Dashboard / Reports → State VLT Platform where applicable
