A method for automated control of a set of tower cranes (2, 3, 4), each tower crane (2, 3, 4) comprising an angularly movable set comprising a boom, the method comprising the following steps: - determining an instantaneous state of operation of each crane (2, 3, 4), each crane (2, 3, 4) being either in weathervane, or working, or in automated control, - determining a destination configuration of the automated control crane, said destination configuration corresponding to a spatial configuration wherein the movable set of said crane extends in a direction corresponding as close as possible to a direction of wind while limiting the risk of hindering the other cranes in the set of cranes, and - angularly displacing the automated control crane to its destination configuration thus determined, the method further comprising the following steps for optimising the path between an initial configuration and a final configuration, the initial configuration corresponding to the instantaneous spatial configuration of the automated control crane and the final configuration corresponding to the destination configuration: - determining whether, starting from its initial spatial configuration, the automated control crane is capable of reaching the final configuration regardless of its direction of rotation (A, B), - if the automated control crane is capable of reaching the final configuration from its initial configuration regardless of its direction of rotation (A, B), determining the interference lenses of this automated control crane with the other cranes from the set of cranes and identifying the direction of rotation (A, B) of the automated control crane wherein said crane cuts the least amount of interference lenses, - deducing therefrom the direction of rotation (A, B) wherein the automated control crane must be angularly displaced to reach the final configuration. - determining an instantaneous state of operation of each crane (2, 3, 4), each crane (2, 3, 4) being either in weathervane, or working, or in automated control, - determining a destination configuration of the automated control crane, said destination configuration corresponding to a spatial configuration wherein the movable set of said crane extends in a direction corresponding as close as possible to a direction of wind while limiting the risk of hindering the other cranes in the set of cranes, and - angularly displacing the automated control crane to its destination configuration thus determined, the method further comprising the following steps for optimising the path between an initial configuration and a final configuration, the initial configuration corresponding to the instantaneous spatial configuration of the automated control crane and the final configuration corresponding to the destination configuration: - determining whether, starting from its initial spatial configuration, the automated control crane is capable of reaching the final configuration regardless of its direction of rotation (A, B), - if the automated control crane is capable of reaching the final configuration from its initial configuration regardless of its direction of rotation (A, B), determining the interference lenses of this automated control crane with the other cranes from the set of cranes and identifying the direction of rotation (A, B) of the automated control crane wherein said crane cuts the least amount of interference lenses, - deducing therefrom the direction of rotation (A, B) wherein the automated control crane must be angularly displaced to reach the final configuration.
