Exeter RailBAM, WCM and Wheel Profile Monitor

Located outside Exeter station on the Main South line in New South Wales, the Track IQ RailBAM system is a "Bearing Acoustic Monitor' (BAM) that monitors the acoustic signature of each axle bearing passing the system at line speed, the Wheel Condition Monitor (WCM) detects a range of wheel tread defect and loading problems, and the Wheel Profile Monitor takes images of each wheel which can then be analysed.
