Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) operates the EV-120, a non-self-powered track and overhead inspection vehicle, nicknamed “Evie,” which relies on towing for transport between locations. The vehicle’s onboard odometer and GPS, critical for tracking mileage and ensuring timely maintenance, were not powered during transit, resulting in inaccurate odometer readings. MTM engaged IMTRAM to develop a solution to keep the existing odometer and GPS systems powered without relying on an axle-mounted approach, as specified in the project brief.
