Warning system for vehicles approaching a visual obstruction

A system for providing approaching carrier warnings, the system comprising:

• a beacon coupled with said carrier traveling on a pathway, the beacon comprising an encoded identification signal, and a wireless signal emitter coupled with a beacon power source, the signal emitter broadcasting the identification signal;
• and
• an observer installed proximate to a line-of-sight obstruction on the pathway, the observer comprising a signal light electrically coupled with a power source via a controllable on/off switch, and the power source is further electrically coupled with and provides electrical power to the a signal sensor, a source of encoded instructions (a memory”), and a logic device, the logic device communicatively coupled with the memory and the controllable switch, the encoded instructions directing the logic device to:
• (a.) deriving a speed by comparing separate signal energy levels a pair of information signals received from the beacon, and a delta of time of reception of the pair of information signals;
• (b.) determine whether the beacon is moving no faster than a predetermined speed parameter by a magnitude of difference of the energy signals divided by the delta of time of reception;
• (c.) when the logic device determines that speed is no faster than the predetermined speed parameter, electrically powering illumination of the signal light for a preset duration by directing the on/off switch to enable an electrical current to flow from the power source and to the signal light;
• and
• (d.) when the signal light has been illuminated for the preset direction, return the observer to a rest state, whereby an electrical power flow through the controllable switch and the power source to the signal light is inhibited.
