Automotive Industry Standard 140

{{Short description|Vehicle tracking standards (India)}} '''Automotive Industry Standard 140''', ('''AIS 140'''), is an AIS standard published by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). It followed an order issued by the Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Finalized Draft AIS-140 regarding Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - Requirements for Public Transport Vehicle Operation |url=https://morth.gov.in/finalized-draft-ais-140-regarding-intelligent-transportation-systems-its-requirements-public-0 |date=27 November 2019 |access-date=2021-08-12 |website=morth.gov.in}}</ref>

AIS 140 compliant devices use Global Positioning System, Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System and GSM/General Packet Radio Service modem for vehicle tracking.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Padmanabha |first1=K S |last2=Basarkod |first2=Prabhugoud I |last3=Asuti |first3=Manjunath G |title=2018 3rd IEEE International Conference on Recent Trends in Electronics, Information & Communication Technology (RTEICT) |chapter=Automotive Electronic safety for Intelligent Transportation System |date=19 May 2018 |chapter-url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9012644 |pages=299–304 |doi=10.1109/RTEICT42901.2018.9012644 |isbn=978-1-5386-2440-1 |s2cid=211685513}}</ref> In addition it can have a provision for hybrid navigation constellations such as GLONASS and Galileo.<ref>{{Cite web|last=S.
