In the computer experience, various strategies are evaluated in terms of environmental load by considering the speed and the punctuality of streetcars, and the road traffic situation influenced by the movement of streetcars. As a result, this paper shows the possibility of the traffic signal strategy which mitigates the situations of streetcar and surrounding vehicles such that the environmental load is minimized.
