The track voltage is normally a bit more than 12V so I wouln't worry about voltage drop. looking at the circuit, it should provide half wave rectification with the single diode and cap which should be enough to power all you need. The 1N4001 is important dont remove it, it is the half wave rectifier. I would just Try it as it is for now. It would probably work quite well. How are you going to use it for anti collision? Using the relay to cut power to the next LC is the only thing I can think of.
The microcontroller route would be my choice, Ive already implemented pit lane sensing using a USB powered sensing circuit and it talks to SSDC quite well. no PLG or Pit Pro required.
