Hardware setting restriction of electronic devices within transit vehicles

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for restricting electronic devices to maximum hardware settings within a transit vehicle, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving positioning data for each of a plurality of portable electronic devices;
• determining a location of each of the plurality of portable electronic devices within the transit vehicle based on the positioning data;
• receiving, from each of the plurality of portable electronic devices, a user preference indicating a desired maximum hardware setting;
• establishing a plurality of zones within the transit vehicle;
• assigning one or more maximum hardware settings to each of the plurality of zones based on the location of each of the plurality of portable electronic devices and the desired maximum hardware setting indicated by the user preference received from each of the plurality of portable electronic devices;
• and
• ensuring compliance of each of the plurality of portable electronic devices with the one or more maximum hardware settings based on the location of each of the plurality of portable electronic devices.
