Yes, a 'Doppler Brake' based on a bat's sense can be developed to prevent train collision and similar accidents. Each coach of a train along with the engine can emit sound waves which may be inaudible to human beings in the range below 20Hz or above 20,000 Hz to be sensed by the other trains quite far away to slow down and stop without colliding or to do the needful. It would need a significant amount of research to ascertain the frequency and to filter unnecessary echoes.

P.S. - Bat in Hindi is known as 'Chamgadar' which does echolocation to find its prey and its path to fly. Train drivers are human beings who cannot have bat's sense, therefore there is a need to develop a machine..
