A device for detecting an approaching train at a roadway railway crossing and providing an intervention for avoiding a collision that avoids the need for crossing site approval, installations, etc. and associated hardware and installation costs. The device may be configured as a stand-alone device, as an accessory matable to a motor vehicle (e.g., via an OBD II port), or may be fully integrated into the motor vehicle. The device includes a microphone for receiving an ambient audio signal, and processes the audio signal to determine whether a train is present. If so, the device may provide an audible and/or visual warning signal to a vehicle driver, via the device itself or via components of the motor vehicle. In certain other embodiments, the device is configured to provide a control signal causing operation of braking, engine, steering or other vehicle systems to avoid a collision.
