Abstract: An automated railway traffic and track management system is disclosed for autonomous station operation, eliminating the need for on-site station masters. The system employs strategically positioned sensors along railway tracks to detect train presence and movement. A central control unit processes sensor signals and makes operational decisions according to predefined railway regulations, managing train routing, signaling, and track allocation. The system integrates multiple components including detection sensors, an intelligent central control unit, traffic light module, track control unit, wireless communication module, and user interface. By leveraging advanced sensor technology and computational intelligence, the system autonomously manages railway traffic flow, ensuring regulatory compliance and optimizing track utilization. The integrated approach provides comprehensive, real-time railway traffic management through automated technological infrastructure. FIG. 1
