Described herein is a rail-based system (1000) for communication between a plurality of railway vehicles. The system (1000) comprises a contact (100) adapted for providing an electrical connection between at least one of the plurality of railway vehicles (2000) and at least one rail track (3000); a transceiver (102) associated with at least one of the plurality of railway vehicles (2000). The transceiver (2000) is adapted to transmit and/or receive an electrical signal by way of the contact (100) from the at least one of the plurality of railway vehicles (2000) to and/or from the at least one rail track (3000).he electrical signal is transmitted and/or received over the at least one rail track (3000) to communicate between the plurality of railway vehicles (2000). The transceiver (102) is adapted to adjust a power output of the electrical signal to determine a distance between the plurality of railway vehicles (2000) and the power output of the electrical signal is derived based on a function of one or both of a headway, and/or power input.
