GPS for Urban Public Transport (ATU)
ATU published new GPS requirements for public transit in Lima and Callao. If you run buses, combis, or corridor routes, you need to comply.
New requirements since January 2026
Resolution D-000001-2026-ATU/DIR changed the rules. GPS now needs 3-meter precision, 5-hour battery, and transmission via authorized mobile operator. If your current device doesn't meet this, you need to replace it.
New regulationAuthorizations up to 14 years
ATU is granting formal permits for the first time. Companies entering now get long authorizations, but also technical obligations that didn't exist before. GPS is one of them.
FormalizationActive enforcement in Lima
ATU intervened over 43,000 informal vehicles in 2024 alone. If you operate formally, you need to prove compliance. If you operate informally, the risk keeps growing.
EnforcementWhat's included in GPS for ATU?
3-meter precision or better
The device meets the minimum precision required by the new ATU resolution. Not every GPS on the market reaches this level.
5-hour backup battery
If vehicle power is cut, the GPS keeps transmitting for 5 hours. Mandatory requirement under the new regulation.
Authorized operator transmission
Data travels via authorized mobile network, as ATU requires. No alternative connections or generic SIM cards.
Driver identification
The system transmits IMEI, license plate, assigned route, and driver data. Everything ATU asks for in its communication protocol.
10,000 record backup
If signal is lost in a tunnel or dead zone, the device stores up to 10,000 positions and sends them when connection is restored.
Web and mobile platform
Monitor your bus or combi fleet from any device. Location, speed, stops, routes. Everything in real time.
Installation for your urban fleet
Fast, at your base, without stopping operations
We talk
Tell us how many buses or combis you have, what routes you run, and if you already have GPS installed. We'll tell you if your current device complies or needs replacing.
We coordinate
We go to your base in Lima or Callao. If you have many units, we can install several on the same day without affecting your operating schedule.
We install
Professional installation with hidden wiring. The device is fixed, protected, and has backup battery. Not visible and not easy to tamper with.
You operate in peace
Log into the platform, see your buses in real time, and know you comply with ATU. If there's an inspection, all documentation is ready.
What ATU requires and how we comply

14,000+ vehicles on the network
Trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles. Your urban fleet joins a platform that already supports thousands of devices without issues.
Support in Lima
If something fails, we don't send you to a support chat in another country. Our team is in Lima and can go to your base if needed.
No lock-in

Triple compliance possible

Frequently asked questions
Does the January 2026 ATU resolution apply to my company?
If you operate urban public transport in Lima or Callao (buses, combis, corridors, feeders), yes. Resolution D-000001-2026-ATU/DIR establishes minimum GPS requirements for all public transport units under ATU jurisdiction.
What if my current GPS doesn't meet the new requirements?
You need to replace it. The regulation is specific: 3-meter precision, 5-hour battery, 10,000 record storage, and transmission via authorized mobile operator. Many cheap GPS devices on the market don't reach these standards.
How much does GPS for ATU cost?
The Ditrack plan is S/ 600 per year, all-inclusive: GPS device, professional installation, monitoring platform, and technical support. No hidden costs, no extra charges for ATU compliance.
Does ATU inspect GPS on vehicles?
Yes. ATU actively enforces compliance. In 2024, they intervened over 43,000 informal vehicles in Lima alone. Formalized companies are also subject to technical compliance verification, including GPS.
Can I use the same GPS for ATU and SUTRAN?
Yes. Ditrack retransmits to multiple regulators from a single device. If your route includes interprovincial segments requiring SUTRAN, you don't need a second GPS.
How is installation done on a bus?
Our technician goes to your base in Lima. Installation takes 1 to 2 hours per unit. The device is installed hidden, with professional wiring and backup battery. It doesn't interfere with bus operation.
What data does the GPS transmit to ATU?
Device IMEI, coordinates (latitude and longitude), assigned route, vehicle plate, speed, direction of movement, and driver identification. All according to the communication protocol defined by ATU.
Do the new 14-year authorizations require GPS?
Yes. Companies obtaining new formal ATU authorizations must meet all technical requirements, including GPS that complies with the January 2026 resolution. It's part of the formalization package.
What advantage does Ditrack have over other GPS providers for ATU?
Three concrete things: (1) we meet all technical requirements of the resolution, not just some, (2) we retransmit to multiple regulators from a single device, and (3) we have a technical team in Lima that can go to your base the same day.
How many units can I monitor on the platform?
No limit. Whether you have 5 buses or 500, the platform is the same. Each additional unit is S/ 600 per year. No access fees, no user limits.
