A method of controlling a plurality of autonomous vehicles () entering a junction () from a plurality of inward routes () and leaving the junction () in at least one outward route () is disclosed. The method comprises calculating a first time slot (-) for entering the junction () on a first inward route () wherein the first time slot (-) has a first entry time at which the first autonomous vehicle (-) enters the junction () and adjusting the velocity of the first autonomous vehicle (-) by an onboard processor () such that the first autonomous vehicle (-) arrives at the junction () at the first entry time. A second time slot (-) for entering the junction () for a second autonomous vehicle (-) is then calculated. The second time slot (-) has a second entry time at which the second autonomous vehicle (-) enters the junction () and the second entry time is later than the first entry time such that the second autonomous vehicle (-) does not impact the first autonomous vehicle (-). The velocity of the second autonomous vehicle (-) is adjusted by the onboard processor () to arrive at the second entry time.
