Method for the automated control of a set of tower cranes (2, 3, 4), each tower crane (2, 3, 4) comprising an angularly mobile assembly comprising a jib, the method comprising the following steps: - determine an instantaneous operating state of each tower crane (2, 3, 4), each tower crane (2, 3, 4) being either in windvane mode, or in work mode, or in automated control mode, - for at least one tower crane under automated control, determining the interference lenses of this tower crane under automated control mode with the other tower cranes (3, 4), - determining an optimum configuration of the tower crane under automated control mode, said optimum configuration corresponding to the spatial configuration in which the mobile assembly of the tower crane under automated control mode extends in a direction corresponding as closely as possible to a wind direction, the process being characterised in that it further comprises the following steps: - determine whether the optimum configuration intersects at least one of the interference lenses, - if the spatial configuration does not intersect any of the interference lenses, place the tower crane under automated control mode in its optimum configuration, and - if the optimal spatial configuration intersects at least one of the interference lenses, (i) determining in the area swept by the moving assembly of the tower crane under automated control mode all the available angular sectors, the said available angular sectors corresponding to the angular sectors of the area not intersecting any interference lens of the tower crane under automated control, (ii) determining the set of subsidiary configurations of said tower crane under automated control, said subsidiary configurations corresponding to the spatial configurations of the tower crane under automated control mode in which said tower crane is centred in a given available angular sector, and (iii) placing (S8, S9, S10) the tower crane under automated control mode in the subsidiary configuration closest to the optimum configuration. - determine an instantaneous operating state of each tower crane (2, 3, 4), each tower crane (2, 3, 4) being either in windvane mode, or in work mode, or in automated control mode, - for at least one tower crane under automated control, determining the interference lenses of this tower crane under automated control mode with the other tower cranes (3, 4), - determining an optimum configuration of the tower crane under automated control mode, said optimum configuration corresponding to the spatial configuration in which the mobile assembly of the tower crane under automated control mode extends in a direction corresponding as closely as possible to a wind direction, - determine whether the optimum configuration intersects at least one of the interference lenses, - if the spatial configuration does not intersect any of the interference lenses, place the tower crane under automated control mode in its optimum configuration, and - if the optimal spatial configuration intersects at least one of the interference lenses, (i) determining in the area swept by the moving assembly of the tower crane under automated control mode all the available angular sectors, the said available angular sectors corresponding to the angular sectors of the area not intersecting any interference lens of the tower crane under automated control, (ii) determining the set of subsidiary configurations of said tower crane under automated control, said subsidiary configurations corresponding to the spatial configurations of the tower crane under automated control mode in which said tower crane is centred in a given available angular sector, and (iii) placing (S8, S9, S10) the tower crane under automated control mode in the subsidiary configuration closest to the optimum configuration.
