8 Hutig Truck Detector (HTD) Nagory Foster offers a state-of-the-art Hutig Truck Detector (HTD) buildig o the solid foudatio that the Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) detector has provided the idustry for more tha 20 years. Customers are implemetig the Hutig Truck Detector to prevet ladig damage, as well as damage to vehicles ad ifrastructure. Hutig trucks udereath rail cars ca violetly oscillate from oe rail to the other as they traverse taget track. This motio ca iduce excessive lateral forces that sigificatly cotribute to the accelerated wear of rail ad vehicles. This particular type of degraded vehicle performace is a leadig cause of damage to delicate ladig ad customer complaits about ride quality. Hutig trucks also cause icreased fuel cosumptio ad result i severe damage to truck compoets which ca cause derailmets. BENEFITS: Moitor Idividual Vehicle Stability Moitor Fleet Performace Improve Safety Reduce Track Damage Reduce Operatig Costs Prevets Ladig Damage FEATURES: Hutig Truck Idex Bi-Directioal Traffic Automatic Car Coutig ad Idetificatio (With Valid Car Library) Robust Hardware Automated Alarm Notificatios Self-Diagostics The oly Hutig Truck Detector that implemets AAR Rule 46 powered by

Nagory Foster s uique desig accouts for the dyamic relatioship betwee vertical ad lateral loads. That is, the system compares simultaeous readigs from a WILD ad a HTD to idetify critical istaces where the wheel flage ad rail gage face geometry may promote flage-climb derailmets. These measuremets are processed through a highly sophisticated proprietary algorithm ad trasformed ito a Hutig Idex to idetify ad alarm o vehicles that exhibit excessive side-to-side motio. If the forces exceed a acceptable threshold, a automatic report otifies the customer which truck requires actio based o their cofigured alarm thresholds. FOSTER

10 Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) The WILD detector is a hardeed electroic data collectio device that measures vertical wheel forces via rail-mouted strai gages. The Wheel Impact Load Detector measures impact forces cause by damaged wheels. These high impact forces damage vehicles, cargo, ad ifrastructure. The Nagory Foster Wheel Impact Load Detector is the most widely used system i the world today, with early 300 istalled to date, to detect ad alarm o excessive wheel impacts for the targeted removal of defective wheels. A essetial compoet of ay performace-based wheel maagemet program, the WILD cotiually moitors rail vehicle wheel health to esure safe ad productive trai operatios. WILD systems evaluate millios of wheels per day throughout the iteratioal rail idustry with prove accuracy ad reliability.

Sigal processors, housed i a earby eclosure, aalyze the data to isolate wheel tread irregularities. If ay wheel geerates a force that exceeds a customer-cofigured alarmig threshold, a report idetifies that wheel for actio. Customers ca cofigure multiple alarm thresholds correspodig to their operatig procedures. These reports are distributed i real-time to such iterested parties as rail traffic cotrol ceters ad vehicle repair shops. FOSTER

12 Weigh I Motio (WIM) Nagory Foster offers a state-of-the-art low cost Weigh I Motio (WIM) system buildig o the solid foudatio that the WILD detector has provided the idustry for more tha 20 years. The WIM system provides accurate vehicle weight. It alerts o overload, side-to-side imbalace, ad ed-to-ed imbalace coditios. Available as a add-o capability to the Wheel Impact Load Detector or as a stad-aloe wayside istallatio, the Weigh I Motio system is a must-have for ay railway. BENEFITS: Moitor Idividual Vehicles Moitor Fleet Performace Improve Safety Reduce Track Damage Reduce Operatig Costs Reduces the Need to Take Idividual Rail Cars Out of Service for Weighig Moitor Load Eviromet FEATURES: Trai, Vehicle, ad Wheel Iformatio Bi-Directioal Traffic Automatic Car Coutig ad Idetificatio (With Valid Car Library) Robust Hardware (20 plus Years of Desig ad Improvemets) Self-Diagostics Automated Alarm Notificatios powered by

Usig statistical aalysis of multiple vertical load measuremets recorded by the detector, a estimate of the static weight of a rail car is derived to determie if the rail car is overloaded or imbalaced beyod safe operatig limits. These systems are stad-aloe, strai-gage measuremet arrays like the WILD, which cost-effectively moitor vehicle weight ad detect weight-based alarm coditios. Nagory Foster s high speed Weigh I Motio system reduces the eed to take idividual rail cars out of service for weighig. Low speed or reveue-scale weigh i motio systems commad a very high price ad require special vehicle hadlig, which usually will require out-ofservice operatios. Nagory Foster s high speed Weigh I Motio systems provides a alterative to weigh bridges by deliverig a +/- 1% weighig accuracy over 95% of the time for a fractio of the cost. FOSTER
