ActuatorsDoors shall open or close completely in not more than 3.5 seconds from the time of control actuation and shall be subject to the closing force requirements. Door actuators shall be adjustable so that the door opening and closing speeds can be independently adjustable to satisfy the above requirements. Actuators and the complex door mechanism shall be concealed from passengers but shall be easily accessible for servicing. The door actuators shall be rebuildable. If powered by compressed air, exhaust from the door system shall be routed below the floor of the bus to prevent accumulation of any oil that may be present in the air system and to muffle sound. Door actuators and associated linkages shall maximize door holding forces in the fully open and fully closed positions to provide firm, non-rattling, non-fluttering door panels while minimizing the force exerted by the doors on an obstruction midway between the fully open and closed positions.
The rear door actuator(s) shall be under the complete control of the vehicle operator and shall open and close in response to the position of the driver’s door control. Alternative The rear doors shall be passenger-controlled. The vehicle operator shall unlock and enable the opening mechanism, which shall be annunciated by illumination of a green light near the door. After enabling and unlocking, the doors shall be opened by either the passenger manually pushing the door open, or by a powered mechanism actuated by passenger activation of a touch bar or touch switch, or by passenger activation of a contactless sensing system. A switch located within reach of the seated operator shall, when actuated, restore rear door function to complete operator control, as described in the Default. Doors that employ a “swing” or pantograph geometry and/or are closed by a return spring or counterweight-type device shall be equipped with a positive mechanical holding device that automatically engages and prevents the actuation mechanism from being back-driven from the fully closed position. The holding device shall be overcome only when the driver’s door control is moved to an “Exit Door Enable” position and the vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 2 mph, or in the event of actuation of the emergency door release. Locked doors shall require a force of more than 300 lbs to open manually. When the locked doors are manually forced to open, damage shall be limited to the bending of minor door linkage with no resulting damage to the doors, actuators or complex mechanism. Actuator (Commuter Coach)The nominal door opening and closing speed shall be in the 3–5 second range. The maximum door opening and closing speeds will be regulated using fixed, maintenance free orifices and airline sizes. If required, door speeds can be decreased with the addition of a flow-restricting device. Actuators and the complete door mechanism shall be concealed from passengers but shall be easily accessible for servicing. Rear Door Interlocks (Transit Coach)See “Hardware Mounting” for door system interlock requirements. Emergency OperationIn the event of an emergency, it shall be possible to manually open doors designated as emergency exits from inside the bus using a force of no more than 25 lbs after actuating an unlocking device. The unlocking device shall be clearly marked as an emergency-only device and shall require two distinct actions to actuate. The respective door emergency unlocking device shall be accessible from the doorway area. The unlocking device shall be easily reset by the operator without special tools or opening the door mechanism enclosure. Doors that are required to be classified as “emergency exits” shall meet the requirements of FMVSS 217. Door ControlThe door control shall be located in the operator’s area within the hand reach envelope described in SAE Recommended Practice J287, “Driver Hand Control Reach.” The driver’s door control shall provide tactile feedback to indicate commanded door position and resist inadvertent door actuation. Default Door control located on street side. Alternative Location as specified by Agency. Default The front door shall remain in commanded state position even if power is removed or lost. Alternative As specified by Agency. Door ControllerTransit CoachDefault Five-Position Driver’s Door Controller The control device shall be protected from moisture. Mounting and location of the door control device handle shall be designed so that it is within comfortable, easy arm’s reach of the seated driver. The door control device handle shall be free from interference by other equipment and have adequate clearance so as not to create a pinching hazard. Position of the door control handle shall result in the following operation of the front and rear doors: • Center position: Front door closed, rear door(s) closed or set to lock. • First position forward: Front door open, rear door(s) closed or set to lock. • Second position forward: Front door open, rear door(s) open or set to open. • First position back: Front door closed, rear door(s) open or set to open. • Second position back: Front door open, rear door(s) open or set to open.
Push-Button Door Controls Doors shall be operated by push-button controls, conveniently located and operable within the driver’s reach. The push buttons shall be labeled. There shall be a separate set of push button controls for the front and rear door(s), as needed.
Two-position switch for front door only. Commuter CoachDoors shall be operated by push-button controls, conveniently located and operable within the driver’s reach. The push buttons shall be labeled.
