Abstract: Railway transportation is the foremost and most popular means of transportation among population. Railway transportation traffic control in India is centralized which sometimes delay the action on its accidental situation. In case of failure or any emergencies in between stations, immediate information can not be given and a particular problem will escalate with valuable time loss.
Wireless sensor network systems will suit the railways much more. In this laser sensing and wireless communication proposition there can be an alternative to control the trains from many hazardous accidents causing loss of life and property.

I. INTRODUCTION
Management and control of railway traffic has been an appealing field of research in recent years. Reliable and fast train traffic control systems are needed to cope with the increasing traffic density and high speed trains of today.
Before going further in details we present some railway descriptions and notations.
Indian railways has seventeen zones ( including Konkan ). These zones are further divided into smaller parts called divisions. Currently sixty nine such divisions exist. Train- running operations are the main responsibility of divisions. For train-running operations, one division the further smaller sections. These sections are called “Control Sections”. Around thirty to forty sections come under one control section controlled by Chief Traffic Controller (CTC) and several section controllers.
Section controllers has very limited information about the scene beyond his control section. So, section controller runs the train as a short sighted person. Most of the time section controllers is unaware of the situations in the neighboring sections and hence due to lack of complete input section controller may not be able to run the trains in optimal manner. One major reason of this lack of information is insufficient communication.
