A traffic control system for controlling traffic at interconnected intersections is provided, where the system comprises a receiver that receives traffic data that indicates states of vehicles approaching an intersection of the interconnected intersections and directions of the vehicles exiting the intersection. Further, the system comprises a processor that determines intersection crossing times and velocities of vehicles approaching the intersection by minimizing at least one of a total travel time or a maximum travel time of the vehicles for crossing the intersection. The contribution of each vehicle of the vehicles approaching the intersection in the at least one of a total travel time or a maximum travel time is weighted based on directions of the vehicles and traffic at next intersection. Further, the system comprises a transmitter that transmits the intersection crossing times and velocities to the vehicles exiting the intersection for controlling the traffic at the interconnected intersections.
