System and method for monitoring a signage system of a transit vehicle

An electronic monitoring method, the electronic monitoring method comprising, by a controller of an electronic monitoring system, the controller comprising a processor and memory:

• receiving diagnostic information from an embedded controller of a sign comprising a pixel array following an analysis, by the embedded controller, of the pixel array as a single matrix, wherein the pixel array comprises a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs), each PCB providing a sub-array of the pixel array, and wherein the diagnostic information comprises information related to a number of malfunctioning pixels in at least one of:
• a row of the single matrix, wherein the row spans more than one PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
• and
• a column of the single matrix, wherein the column spans more than one PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
• and
• generating health information for the sign using the information related to the number of malfunctioning pixels.

A computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method comprising:

• receiving diagnostic information from an embedded controller of a sign comprising a pixel array following an analysis, by the embedded controller, of the pixel array as a single matrix, wherein the pixel array comprises a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs), each PCB providing a sub-array of the pixel array, and wherein the diagnostic information comprises information related to a number of malfunctioning pixels in at least one of:
• a row of the single matrix, wherein the row spans more than one PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
• and
• a column of the single matrix, wherein the column spans more than one PCB of the plurality of PCBs;
• and
• generating health information for the sign using the information related to the number of malfunctioning
