A traffic planning method for controlling a plurality of vehicles is disclosed, wherein each vehicle occupies one node in a shared set of planning nodes and is movable to other nodes along predefined edges between pairs of the nodes in accordance with a finite set of motion commands. The method comprises: obtaining initial node occupancies of the vehicles; from said finite set of motion commands, determining a mean number of feasible motion commands in a neighborhood of the initial node occupancies; determining a search depth d which makes optimal use of a predefined computational budget; and determining a suitable sequence of motion commands by means of an optimization process which considers the search depth d.
