Zusammenfassung:A method of monitoring the mechanical condition of a passenger door on a public transit vehicle wherein the door operator is a brushed direct current electrical motor and comprises the steps of: repeatedly recording a profile of the motor current vs. time following initiation of opening or closing of the door; based on previously recorded profiles establishing acceptable ranges of motor current for times following initiation of opening or closing the door; and comparing an instant motor current profile to the acceptable ranges and indicating a potential fault condition if the motor current is outside the acceptable ranges.
