Abstract
A method of monitoring a vehicle axle, and of discriminating between a plurality of axle failure modes, is described. The method may include acquiring first axle data and second axle data, detecting at least one first anomaly if the acquired first axle data deviate from first reference data provided by a model of the axle, detecting at least one second anomaly if the acquired second axle data deviate from second reference data, detecting at least one out of a plurality of axle failure modes based on which anomaly or which anomalies have been detected, and issuing a failure notice indicative of the at least one detected axle failure mode.
