Recommend you buy the Kalmbach (ahem Firecrown) book on Model Railroad Signalling, by Dave Abeles.  Pretty much tells you what you need to know.

If you're looking for prototype operation, probably JMRI + Loconet or look into LCC.
If you're looking for simple/automatic, there are other options.

Second the book recommendation, it’s been really useful. Another option, Atlas has a signal system that might work for you. If you are doing anything modular related, the https://modularsignalsystem.info/ is worth a look.

Speaking of Dave Abeles, has anyone heard from him in awhile? I have enjoyed updates on his Conrail OggyDoggy division. Been quiet for quite some time.
I also agree, Dave's book is a must read.

I think he's doing well, judging by his blog.  https://onondagacutoff.blogspot.com/
