Systems and methods are provided for generating a safety notification to a first train with respect to a speed of a second train along a track, the system including a camera transceiver, comprising a light emitter configured to emit a narrow bandwidth light, an image sensor, one or more light reflectors and a lens subsystem; and a processor configured to perform the steps of: determining a train speed and a train position; receiving images from the camera transceiver; processing the images to calculate a speed and a position of a potential obstacle on the track; responsively to calculating the potential obstacle speed and position, determining a safe speed of the train and providing a control signal to control the first train.
