A method of controlling a plurality of autonomous vehicles (20) entering a junction (56) from a plurality of inward routes (60a, 60b) and leaving the junction (56) in at least one outward route (65) is disclosed. The method comprises calculating a first time slot (80-1) for entering the junction (56) on a first inward route (60a) wherein the first time slot (80-1) has a first entry time at which the first autonomous vehicle (20-1) enters the junction (56) and adjusting the velocity of the first autonomous vehicle (20-1) by an onboard processor (27) such that the first autonomous vehicle (20-1) arrives at the junction (56) at the first entry time. A second time slot (80-2) for entering the junction (56) for a second autonomous vehicle (20-2) is then calculated. The second time slot (80-2) has a second entry time at which the second autonomous vehicle (20-2) enters the junction (56) and the second entry time is later than the first entry time such that the second autonomous vehicle (20-2) does not impact the first autonomous vehicle (20-1). The velocity of the second autonomous vehicle (20-1) is adjusted by the onboard processor (27) to arrive at the second entry time.
