AIS-140 for state fleets: a practical checklist
What transport departments should check before rolling out AIS-140 tracking across buses and public vehicles.
AIS-140 sets requirements for vehicle tracking and emergency buttons in public transport vehicles. Getting devices installed is the easy part. Making the data useful takes planning.
Before rollout
- Confirm device certification and the backend the devices will report to.
- Agree which alerts go to which control room, and who acts on them.
- Decide how long trip and alert data must be kept.
After rollout
- Review panic-button tests regularly.
- Use trip reports to find route deviations and idle time.
- Combine tracking with fuel and camera data for a complete picture.
