Flexible electronics is a totally new technological field sharing equal performance with traditional microelectronics. It has unique features such as transformability, portability, light-weight, and large-area application, etc. It is a highly integrated form of disruptive technological innovation. Industrial Internet is a result of the new generation of information technology integrated with manufacturing, which is now driving industrial economy forward from digitalization to closer networking and smarter development. “Flexible Electronics+” will lead the future scientific and technological development of China, improve China’s national competitiveness, and mutually promote the deep integration of networking with smart development and high-quality industrial development. It can give a powerful boost to China’s switch from a big power to a strong power, which is significant in changing the global economic, profit and safety patterns.

To effectively design adaptive traffic signal control for congested traffic networks, it is essential to account for three fundamental characteristics of traffic flow: (i) its dynamic nature, (ii) spatial patterns, and (iii) stochastic behaviour. In this presentation, we will discuss how these three key attributes are captured and embedded within a rigorous analytical framework, which is then transformed into an intelligent traffic control system through AI-based computational techniques. This system, known as Dynamic Intersection Signal Control Optimization (DISCO), is validated using VISSIM simulations and tested in real-world environments. The applications span diverse scenarios—including roundabouts and adaptive area-wide control—demonstrating DISCO’s versatility and effectiveness in practice.
