Disclosed are a method and device for detecting a direction of motion of a wheel on a rail track. The device includes at least one magnet for providing a magnetic field; a magnetic field sensor for sensing a magnetic field value indicative for a flux density, or a change in the flux density of the provided magnetic field; and at least one processor in communication with the magnetic field sensor. The at least one processor is configured to: obtain a plurality of the magnetic field values for respective times from the magnetic field sensor; and to analyse the obtained plurality of magnetic field values such that a direction of motion of a wheel passing the device is obtained.
