The present invention relates to a method (40) of controlling event-responsive traffic lights (18 - 28) at an intersection (2) of lanes (3 - 17) by a controller (29) which switches the traffic lights (18 - 28) in a sequence (30j) of phases (Pn), wherein the controller (29) has a memory (35) storing a set (36) of phase sequences and is configured to change from one phase sequence to another, the method comprising, in a server: a) generating candidate sets (42k) of phase sequences; b) determining the traffic flows on the lanes; c) calculating a cost measure for each candidate set; and d) sending the candidate set with the lowest cost measure to the controller; in the controller, receiving and storing the sent set in the memory as the set; and repeating steps b) - d). The invention further relates to the server (39) used in said method (40).
