The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for energy optimized routing of traffic participants in road traffic (user). The method comprising the step of receiving a first set of data (1sd) from at least a traffic participant (user), comprising at least a current position (cur_pos) and a destination (dest) of said traffic participant (user). Further said method comprises the step of receiving a second set of data (2sd) from at least a traffic control equipment (tce) comprising at least a current status (cur_stat) of said traffic control equipment (tce). At least one of said first set of data (1sd) and said second set of data (2sd) is transmitted by wireless telecommunication. Said method further comprises the step of processing said received first set of data (1sd) from said traffic participant (user) and said received second set of data (2sd) from said traffic control equipment (tce). Said processing comprises at least calculating for said traffic participant (user) a third set of data (3sd) comprising at least an optimum path (opt_path) and an optimum speed (opt_speed), based on said first set of data (1sd) and based on said second set of data (2sd). Said method further comprises transmitting said third set of data (3sd) to said traffic participant (user), for controlling said path and said speed of said traffic participant (user) to equalize the speed of said traffic participant (user).
