第一篇：关于养老院的外文翻译

养 老 院

养老院分为疗养院，专业护理组（首尔大学），护理院或疗养院。这是一个需要护理和日常活动有不便的人居住的地方。居住在这里的居民包括身体或精神残疾的老人和成年人，住在疗养院的人如果发生意外或疾病也会被进行物理治疗。居民的法律权利取决于机构的法律地位。

美 国

在美国，一个“专业护理机构”或“民营护理机构”是指一个注册参加并可以医疗保险报销的机构。联邦医疗保险方案主要是为那些在工作时为社会保障和医疗保险做出贡献的老年人而设的，护理基金是指给予那些得到认证并参与了医疗报销的养老院的资金。联邦医疗补助计划是为每个国家提供医疗及相关服务，并为那些所谓的“穷人”实施的。所谓的“穷人”是指每个国家确定的给予老人，残疾人或儿童医疗补助的资格（如儿童的健康保险计划-芯片和母婴保健和食品方案）。

每个国家开办的养老院，都受到国家法律和法规的保护。护养院可以选择参加医疗保险或医疗补助。如果他们通过一项调查（检查），他们得到许可，也受到联邦法律和法规的保护。全部或部分护理之家可参加医疗保险或医疗补助。

在美国，护理安老院参加医疗保险或医疗补助须有职业护士每天24小时值班。至少每天8小时，每周7天，必须有一个注册护士值班。护养院的管理由持牌护理之家管理员管理。不像美国护理没有标准化的培训和管理人员发牌规定，但大多数州都要求有联邦许可证，许多州，如加利福尼亚州有他们自己的系统管理员执照。到2005年4月18日，美国共有16094家有许可的养老院，低于2002年12月12日，德尔的16516家。

有些国家已经给能够在社区生活但需要帮助的老人和其他成年人提供不同的照料。例如，康涅狄格安老院或安老院是由公共卫生国务院授权。这些安老院提供24小时监管，提供了更多的“如家“的环境。许多人实际上已转化为住房，提供一个住宅社区，促进了独立的生活方式和给予他人需要的某种形式的援助，以促进更好的在社区生活

服 务

护理之家提供的服务包括护士，护理助手和助理服务，物理，职业及语言治疗师，社会工作者及康乐助理和食宿。大多数护理机构提供的认证服务是护士助理，而不是由技术人员担任。平均每100个居民拥有40张病床和40个认证的护士助理。注册护士执照的护士和数量均明显低于每100个居民拥有和7张病床和每100个居民拥有13张病床。

参加医疗保险和医疗补助的护养院都必须达到联邦工作人员和服务质量方面的要求才能为居民服务。2004年，16,100家护理机构中，98.5％的护理机构被证实参与全国范围的医疗保险，医疗补助。

医疗保险包含了在20到100天之内为那些需要熟练的护理或康复服务的护理受益人提供至少连续三天的贴身服务。该保险不包括照顾只需要监护的人。例如，当一个人需要帮助洗澡，散步，或从床上移到椅子上是不包括在里面的。要获得医疗保险所指的专业护理，医生必须证明受益人需要熟练的日常护理康复技术或其他相关的住院服务，而且这些服务，作为一个实际问题，必须在提供住院的基础上。例如，中风后住院和物理治疗，或在技术熟练的护理之下，受益人的伤口在手术后需要公布的受益者，可能是医疗保险包含的护理资格。

民营护理之家是指提供一个独立的医院服务为基础的机构。一个独立的机构是一般护理之家的一部分，涵盖了通过医疗补助，通过长期护理保险或医疗保险服务，以及民营护理之家长期护理服务的一部分。一般来说，民营护理之家为患者所提供的医疗保险弥补的只是一个独立的护理之家常住人口总量的一小部分。

医疗护理还包括那些需要监护，并按要求提供的相应等级的家庭护理。如护理之家居民的身体障碍或认知障碍，需要24小时护理。以满足一个国家的经济状况调查的入息及资产审查。

家庭护理费用可以达到每月数千元。成本很高的护理往往都是一些消耗资源的护理。如果符合资格，涵盖在医疗护理范围内的人可以继续保留这些权利。然而，那些病人要求保护他们的毕生积蓄或资产。

美国政府的管制和监督

在美国所有护理院接收医疗保险和医疗补助的资金是受联邦法规所规定的。负责疗养院检测的被称为测量师，通常叫做情况检测师。情况检测师可察看遵守执照（国家规定）认证（医疗保险和医疗补助的规定）。

“最小数据集”评估是美国联邦政府规定的部分，它是指对参与了医疗保险或医疗证明疗养院的所有居民进行全面评估的过程。最小数据集的评估是一个筛选评估，在对每个居民的行为能力进行全面评估的基础上，帮助养老院工作人员识别并帮助居民达到健康的标准或应付其他需求。最小数据集会产生一种，用于偿还所有医疗保险，并在许多国家用来设置网络档案系统的报销的“资源利用组”。

对于美国护养院和网络档案系统服务中心，医疗保险和医疗补助有一个网站，这个网站允许用户执行监督某些机构指标。网站内容管理系统还出版了用于监督的设施清单用来衡量护养院的经营情况。美国政府责任办公室已发现养老院视察的数目问题严重已经对目前的居民造成了危险。美国政府责任办公室的结论是，虽然合作医疗监督有所改善，但在护理安老院的监督方面仍有薄弱环节。2008年9月发表的一份报告发现，2007年，超过90％的家庭护理存在联邦卫生和安全的隐患，约有17％的家庭护理有缺陷，这种缺陷造成了患者的实际损害或即时危害。

养老行业被认为是国家两个最重要的行业之一，（另一个是核电工业）。

医疗保险和医疗补助调查

适用护养院和网络档案系统的联邦监管和检查（测量）运用研究于1965年创建的医疗服务质量模型。该模型包含护理团队，护理程序和结果的概念。

护理团队 调查发现，医疗结构是养老院的资源，这包括工作人员，他们的知识和技能，政策，程序，记录，设备等，护理团队是测量组织关怀的工具。

护理程序

在实际中，护理程序是养老院的资本。调查过程表明每个居民需要适当性，及时性的服务。护理程序是由5种脑力和体力活动所组成的：测量，规划，执行（代），评估和传播。这些活动必须是完整的，并共同执行的。遗憾的是这些过程都以任务而不是以居民为中心。一个有责任的护士在发现伤口的时候可以有序的进行换药并就行伤口评估。养老中心的护士早就知道治疗会导致居民的痛苦和术前的痛苦。在治疗中，她（或他）将与居民交谈，并以此来分散他们的注意力从而达到减少居民痛苦的目的。与那些处在特殊情况下的居民讨论各种问题，可以大大的提高他们的舒适感。在这种特定的情况下，护士也能够做好纵向跟进，这保证了更持久的实施效果。

结 果

在医疗服务质量模式中，结果被假定为医疗程序的结果，医疗程序被假定为需要的医疗团队。一个结果可能是一个间接地支持照顾居民的结果。一种间接治疗或设施治疗结果主要用于监督和纠正或培训员工，改变员工的知识和技能。工作人员应用这些新技术的过程是一个产生更好居住效果的过程。失败的结果可能被归类为物理结果（死亡，疾病，残疾或功能障碍）和心理结果（不适，不满）。结果通常是指居民的健康状况，福利，病人满意度等，这种结果通常是用来提高护理人员的护理经验。

消费者选择

目前的趋势是向他们提供满足重要人士所需要的支持和长期的生活安排。事实上，在美国，作为一个真正选择制度改革的研究结果显示很多人住在社区是都能够回自己的家。私人护理机构可以提供能够陪护的私人护士。

在考虑为那些不能独立生活的人安排生活时，潜在客户认为多看看养老院和辅助生活设施记住每个人并能独立照顾自己是非常重要的。许多家庭选择选择养老院都是选择那种充满爱心的，每天只要戴在养老院几个小时的养老院。

从2002年开始，医疗补助就建立了一个在线比较网站，旨在促进养老院之间的良性竞争。

趋 势

在美国，一些养老院已经开始改变他们的管理模式和组织结构，旨在创造一个更加以居民为中心的环境，所以他们更注重“家庭式”或“医院一样”的养老院，这些家庭共用一个厨房和客厅。护理人员的任务是照顾好其中的一个“家庭”。白天，当他们醒来时，当他们吃饭时，当他们想做什么时。工作人员可以为他们服务。他们也有机会获得更多的陪伴，如宠物的陪伴。运用这种管理模式的机构将它称为“文化转向”或“文化变革”，例如长期照护，这种护理之家，被称为“温室”。

面向任务的护理 任务导向的护理是指给护士分配具体的任务，一个护士负责一个特定的病房。如果居民遇到特殊情况，那么，在一段时间内会有很多护士照顾她。如果居民遇到问题，护理人员随机安排，护士被要求与居民建立密切的关系、美国的护士资格培训是任务导向。在有营业资格的护士之家，它的主要从业者是有职业资格的护士。经过认证的护理之家是病人的主要照顾者。职业资格学院的培训要求培训时间和实际工作时间总共要达到75小时以上，并且必须通过口头或书面测试。因此，美国的养老院，对护理者的培训是一项责任。

居民护理

以居民为主的护理，是指护士被分配到特定的患者并有能力与病人建立良好的关系。在一个机构中，就像大多数家庭一样，患者都被治疗了。采用居民为主的护理，可以使护士与每个病人都更熟悉，照顾他们的特殊需求，无论是情绪上的还是医疗上的。与此相反，以机构护理为中心的护理院。其重点是工作人员的便利和效率。在这里工作人员只是执行任务，而不是通过与居民互动而达到理想的居住成果。凡驻地为中心的工作人员都知道你的名字，机构工作人员通过房间号码识别，诊断，例如帮助那些有需要的居民进食。

科学发现

根据不同的调查结果显示，住在以居住为主的护理院，可以得到高质量的服务。护理人员被要求要多关注一下病人，并与他们多相处。大量的问题都是在初级护理检查之后才发现的。在护理人员长时间的照顾病患之后，会慢慢的发现很多病患应注意的问题。一旦体验过这种模式的护理，护士往往会更喜欢以居住中心这种模式。虽然居民为导向的护理不能够延长生命，但是他们可以通过与人们交流来消除许多寂寞和不满的感受。

轮流看护是指让所有人享受到同等的服务。有了这个特定的系统，养老院会为居住在这里的人负责。然而，这一系统的执行可能会引起问题，那些被分配照顾居民的护士和护理者会与居民们产生良好的感情。当他们被调走或者离开时，他们会舍不得。

各种研究结果表明，为了完成任务而去照顾居民会引起居民的不满。在许多情况下，向居民透露信息会让他们变的慌乱，因此决定不透露所有信息。患者通常抱怨有寂寞和流离失所的感觉

“居民转让是指轮流着照顾居民，而不是一个护士照顾一个特定的居民。因为一个看护身上的负担可能很重，所以很多看护不能用一个居民的感情和物质方面的经验来定义居民的信息，这些信息可能是错误的或者是没有事实根据的，因为很多的看护轮流照顾一个居民。

应急处理

在看护病人的时候遇到紧急情况往往是令人生畏的任务，它包括着事件很容易失去控制和没有缓和的时间。（目前）只有一些可以运用的应急方案或操作标准程序。幸好，还是有很多作家出版了关于这些话题的评论性文章。

英 国 2002年，英国的护理院因为有特定的居住环境和护理人员好和总所周知。在英国护理院及护理安老院是由英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和北爱尔兰的不同组织组成的。进入一家养老院，你需要当地市议会对您的财务状进行评估。您可能还必须通过护士对你的评估，看你是否需要被护理。

在英国，2009年四月，资金下降底线是13500英镑，在这个水平上，所有的从退休金，补偿金，救济金和其他除了个人花费的津贴（当前是 21.9英镑）以外的经济来源，都将用于支付房子看护。当地的政务为提供被占据房间不比当地常态的房间贵这件事做出了持续的贡献。目前，拿汉普夏郡打个比方，如果居民支出多于这个平均数字，政府就不会支付任何东西，一个三口之家必须做出贡献或者施舍，否则居民就搬到一个更便宜的房子里去。在低收入居民和高收入居民之间的居民，领着带有很少的私人花费津贴的工资。他们得到每周大约是250英镑的工资，处在高收入和低收入居民之间。政府会支付多余的部分，国民和原来的情况一样。这是因为找到一个在政委会限定下能够使用政委会的资金而且避免日后搬走房子是很完美的。超过医药费23,000英镑的病人们，在看护病房需要支付全额费用，直到他们的财产跌至最低限度。那些需要额外看护的病人们估计这些费用（汉普夏郡看护在2009年是483英镑）并且通过国际健康服务接受另外的财政支持(103.80英镑)，这就是所谓的储备看护。

作为卫生署网站上详细的多学科的评估过程。国民保健服务的资金已全部用于保证给居民提供的护理符合医疗保健的标准并负全部责任是确定的。

英国的成人护理安老院是受护理质量委员会所管的，这取代了社会的监管。英国的成人护理安老院至少每3年要被检查一次。在威尔士，威尔士照管标准监察局负有监督的责任，在苏格兰，苏格兰委员会的护理法规和北爱尔兰的法规质量促进了北爱尔兰委员会的法律监管力度。

2010年5月，联合政府宣布成立一个独立的委员会负责资助长期护理，这是由12个月份的人口老龄化医疗融资报告造成的。护理质量委员会本身也重新实施了登记过程，2010年十月竣工，这将导致2011年四月新的管理形式的产生。

外文原文：

Nursing home From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A nursing home, convalescent home, Skilled Nursing Unit(SNU), care home or rest home provides a type of care of residents: it is a place of residence for people who require constant nursing care and have significant deficiencies with activities of daily living[citation needed].Residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities.Residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness.Residents may have certain legal rights depending on the location of the facility.United States In the United States, a “Skilled Nursing Facility” or “SNF” is a nursing home certified to participate in, and be reimbursed by Medicare.Medicare is the federal program primarily for the aged who contributed to Social Security and Medicare while they were employed.A “Nursing Facility” or “NF” is a nursing home certified to participate in, and be reimbursed by Medicaid.Medicaid is the federal program implemented with each State to provide health care and related services to those who are “poor.” Each State defines poverty and;therefore, Medicaid eligibility.Those eligible for Medicaid may be aged, disabled or children(e.g.Children's Health Insurance Programsnursing homes with “a history of serious quality issues.”[4][5] The US Government Accountability Office(GAO), however, has found that state nursing home inspections understate the number of serious nursing home problems that present a danger to residents.The GAO concluded that while CMS oversight has improved, there are still weaknesses in its oversight of nursing homes.[6][7] A report issued in September 2008 found that over 90% of nursing homes were cited for federal health or safety violations in 2007, with about 17% of nursing homes having deficiencies causing “actual harm or immediate jeopardy” to patients.[8] SNFs and NFs are subject to federal regulations and also strict state regulations.The nursing home industry is considered one of the two most heavily regulated industries in the United States(the other being the nuclear power industry).[9]

Medicare and Medicaid surveys Federal regulation and inspection(surveying)of SNFs and NFs applies a model of health care quality created for research by Avedis Donabedian in 1965.The model uses the concepts of structure, process and outcome.Structure For surveying, structure is the nursing home's resources.That includes staff, their knowledge and skills, policies, procedures, records, equipment, buildings, etc.Structure surveying looks at the instrumentalities of care and their organization.Process Process is the nursing home's resources in action.Process surveying looks at the appropriateness, timeliness and quality of care and services in relation to each resident's needs.Process can be organized into 5 kinds of intellectual and physical activities: assessing, planning, implementing(acting), evaluating, and communicating.These activities must be integrated and often occur together.Unfortunately these processes can be task or resident-centered.A task nurse implements a physician ordered-dressing change, perhaps assessing the wound while it is uncovered.A resident-centered nurse would already know if the treatment causes the resident pain and pre-medicated the resident.During the care, she(or he)will talk with the resident about topics they have both shared before, distracting the resident from discomfort and addressing social needs.Communication is heightened when residents feel comfortable discussing various issues with someone who is experienced with their particular case.In this particular situation nurses are also better able to do longitudinal follow up, which insures the implementation of more lasting results Outcome

In Donabedian's model, outcome is assumed to result from processes and processes are assumed to require structures.An outcome may be a facility outcome which indirectly supports direct resident care.An example of an indirect or facility outcome would be supervising and correcting or training staff That changes staff knowledge and skills.Staff applying those new skills is a process which should yield better resident outcomes.Resident outcomes may be classified as physical(death, disease, disability or dysfunction)and psychosocial(discomfort, dissatisfaction).Resident outcomes are usually specified in terms of health, well-being, patient satisfaction, etc.Resident outcomes are usually improved when staff provide and residents Consumer choices Current trends are to provide people with significant needs for long term supports and services with a variety of living arrangements.Indeed, research in the U.S.as a result of the Real Choice Systems Change Grants, shows that many people are able to return to their own homes in the community.Private nursing agencies may be able to provide live-in nurses to stay and work with patients in their own homes.When considering living arrangements for those who are unable to live by themselves, potential customers consider it to be important to carefully look at many nursing homes and assisted living facilities as well as retirement homes, keeping in mind the person's abilities to experience resident oriented care

take care of themselves independently.While certainly not a residential option, many families choose to have their elderly loved one spend several hours per day at an adult daycare center.Beginning in 2002, Medicare began hosting an online comparison site intended to foster quality improving competition between nursing homes.Trend In the U.S.a few nursing homes are beginning to change the way they are managed and organized to create a more resident-centered environment, so they are more “home-like” and less institutional or “hospital-like.” In these homes, units are replaced with a small set of rooms surrounding a common kitchen and living room.The staff giving care is assigned to one of these “households.” Residents have far more choices about when they awake, when they eat and what they want to do during the day.They also have access to more companionship such as pets.Many of the facilities utilizing these models refer to such changes as the “Culture Shift” or “Culture Change” occurring in the Long Term Care, or LTC, industry.Sometimes this kind of nursing home is called a “greenhouse.”

Task-oriented care Task oriented care is where nurses are assigned specific tasks to perform for numerous residents on a specific ward.Residents in this particular situation are exposed to multiple nurses at any given time.Because of the random disbursement of tasks, nurses are declined the ability to develop more in depth relations with any particular resident.Licensed(vocational)nurse training in the United States is task oriented.The primary care giver in a certified nursing home is a “Certified Nurses Aide”(CNA).CNAs receive a minimum of 75 hours of didactic and practical task-oriented training and must pass an oral or written test.Thus, in U.S.nursing homes, the training of the majority of direct care-givers in nursing homes is task oriented.Resident-oriented care Resident oriented care is where nurses are assigned to particular patients and have the ability to develop relationships with individual patients.Patients are treated more as family, as opposed to random patients in an institution.Using resident-oriented care, nurses are able to become familiar with each patient and cater more to their specific needs, whether they be emotional or medical.In contrast, institutional care is institution-centered.The focus is staff convenience and efficiency.Staff perform tasks rather than interact with residents to achieve desirable resident outcomes.Where resident-centered staff know residents by name, institutional staff identify residents by room number, diagnosis, or a task like “feeders” for residents who need help to eat.Scientific findings According to various findings residents who receive resident-oriented care experience a higher quality of life, in respect to attention and time spent with patients and the number of fault reports after the introduction of Primary Nursing.Once they experience it, nurses often prefer resident-oriented settings, too.Although resident-oriented nursing does not lengthen life, nursing home residents are able to connect with someone, which allows them to dispel many feelings of loneliness and discontent.“Resident assignment” refers to the extent to which residents are allocated to the same nurse.With this particular system one person is responsible for the entire admission period of the resident.However, this system can cause difficulties for the nurse or care-giver should one of the residents they are assigned to pass away or move to a different facility, as the nurse/caregiver may become attached to the resident(s)they are caring for.Various findings suggest that task-oriented care produces less satisfied residents.In many cases, residents are disoriented and unsure of who to disclose information to and as a result decide not to share information at all.Patients usually complain of loneliness and feelings of displacement.“Resident assignment” is allocated to numerous nurses as opposed to one person carrying the responsibility of one resident.Because the load on one nurse can become so great, various nurses are unable to identify with gradual emotional and physical changes experienced by one particular resident.Resident information has the ability to get misplaced or undocumented because of the numerous amounts of nurses that deal with one resident.[citation needed].Emergency management Dealing with an emergency in nursing home is always a formidable task which involves the damage control and mitigation of the event.Not many written plans or standard operating procedures are available publicly, except for a few [9].However, there are published academic reviews about the topic written by many authors [10], [11], [12].United Kingdom

In 2002 nursing homes became known as care homes with nursing and residential homes became known as care homes [13].In the United Kingdom care homes and care homes with nursing are regulated by different organisations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.To enter a care home, you need an assessment of needs and of your financial condition from your local council.You may also have an assessment by a nurse, should you require nursing care.The cost of a care home is means tested in England.As of April 2009 in England, the lower capital limit is £13,500.At this level, all income from pensions, savings, benefits and other sources, except a “personal expenses allowance”(currently £21.90), will go to paying the care home fees.The local council pays the remaining contribution provided the room occupied is not more expensive than the local council's normal rate, currently £364.48 for Hampshire for example.If the resident is paying more than this the council will not pay anything and contributions from a third party or charity must be found or the resident move to a cheaper care home.Between the lower and the upper capital limits, the resident pays their income less personal expenses allowancek for every £250 capital between lower and higher limit.The council pays the rest, subject to the same conditions as before.It is therefore preferable to find a home within the council's limit if council funding is likely to be required to avoid a forced move later.Patients with capital over more than £23,000 pay the full cost of the care home, until the total value of their assets fall below the threshold[14].Patients who require additional nursing care are assessed for this(Hampshire nursing limit 2009 £483pw)and receive additional financial support(£103.80pw)through the National Health Service(NHS);this is known as [[Funded Nursing Care}}.The NHS has full responsibility for funding the whole placement if the resident in a care home with nursing meets the criteria for NHS continuing Health Care.This is identified by a multi-disciplinary assessment process as detailed on the DOH website.Care homes for adults in England are regulated by Care Quality Commission, which replaced the Commission for Social Care Inspection, and each care home is inspected at least every three years.In Wales the Care Standards Inspectorate for Wales has responsibility for oversight, In Scotland the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care and in Northern Ireland the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority in Northern Ireland.In May 2010, the Coalition Government announced the formation of an independent commission on the funding of long-term care, which is due to report within a 12-month timeframe on the financing of care for an Ageing population.The Care Quality Commission have themselves implemented a re-registration process, completed in October 2010, which will result in a new form of regulation being outlined in April 2011[citation needed]

当今时代是一个自动化时代，交通灯控制等很多行业的设备都与计算机密切相关。因此，一个好的交通灯控制系统，将给道路拥挤，违章控制等方面给予技术革新。随着大规模集成电路及计算机技术的迅速发展，以及人工智能在控制技术方面的广泛运用，智能设备有了很大的发展，是现代科技发展的主流方向。本文介绍了一个智能交通的系统的设计。该智能交通灯控制系统可以实现的功能有：对某市区的四个主要交通路口进行控制：个路口有固定的工作周期，并且在道路拥挤时中控制中心能改变其周期：对路口违章的机动车能够即时拍照，并提取车牌号。在世界范围内，一个以微电子技术，计算机和通信技术为先导的，一信息技术和信息产业为中心的信息革命方兴未艾。而计算机技术怎样 与实际应用更有效的结合并有效的发挥其作用是科学界最热门的话题，也是当今计算机应用中空前活跃的领域。本文主要从单片机的应用上来实现十字路口交通灯智能化的管理，用以控制过往车辆的正常运作。

研究交通的目的是为了优化运输，人流以及货流。由于道路使用者的不断增加，现有资源和基础设施有限，智能交通控制将成为一个非常重要的课题。但是，智能交通控制的应用还存在局限性。例如避免交通拥堵被认为是对环境和经济都有利的，但改善交通流也可能导致需求增加。交通仿真有几个不同的模型。在研究中，我们着重于微观模型，该模型能模仿单独车辆的行为，从而模仿动态的车辆组。

由于低效率的交通控制，汽车在城市交通中都经历过长时间的行进。采用先进的传感器和智能优化算法来优化交通灯控制系统，将会是非常有益的。优化交通灯开关，增加道路容量和流量，可以防止交通堵塞，交通信号灯控制是一个复杂的优化问题和几种智能算法的融合，如模糊逻辑，进化算法，和聚类算法已经在使用，试图解决这一问题，本文提出一种基于多代理聚类算法控制交通信号灯。

在我们的方法中，聚类算法与道路使用者的价值函数是用来确定每个交通灯的最优决策的，这项决定是基于所有道路使用者站在交通路口累积投票，通过估计每辆车的好处(或收益)来确定绿灯时间增益值与总时间是有差异的，它希望在它往返的时候等待，如果灯是红色，或者灯是绿色。等待，直到车辆到达目的地，通过有聚类算法的基础设施，最后经过监测车的监测。

我们对自己的聚类算法模型和其它使用绿灯模拟器的系统做了比较。绿灯模拟器是一个交通模拟器，监控交通流量统计，如平均等待时间，并测试不同的交通灯控制器。结果表明，在拥挤的交通条件下，聚类控制器性能优于其它所有测试的非自适应控制器，我们也测试理论上的平均等待时间，用以选择车辆通过市区的道路，并表明，道路使用者采用合作学习的方法可避免交通瓶颈。

本文安排如下：第2部分叙述如何建立交通模型，预测交通情况和控制交通。第3部分是就相关问题得出结论。第4部分说明了现在正在进一步研究的事实，并介绍了我们的新思想。

The times is a automation times nowadays,traffic light waits for much the industey equipment to go hand in hand with the computer under the control of.Therefore,a good traffic light controls system,will give road aspect such as being crowded,controlling against rules to give a technical improvement.With the fact that the large-scale integrated circuit and the computer art promptness develop,as well as artificial intelligence broad in the field of control technique applies,intelligence equipment has had very big development,the main current being that modern science and technology develops direction.The main body of a book is designed having introduccd a intelligence traffic light systematically.The function being intelligence traffic light navar’s turn to be able to come true has：The crossing carries out supervisory control on four main traffic of some downtown area;Every crossing has the fixed duty period,charges centrefor being able to change it’s period and in depending on a road when being crowded;The motro vehicle breaking rules and regulations to the crossing is able to take a photo immediately,abstracts and the vehicle shop sign.Within world range ,one uses the microelectronics technology,the computer and the technology communicating by letter are a guide’s,centering on IT and IT industry information revolution is in the ascendant.But,how,computer art applies more effective union and there is an effect’s brought it’s effect into play with reality is the most popular topic of scientific community,is also that computer applications is hit by the unparalleled active field nowadays.The main body of a book is applied up mainly from slicing machine’s only realizing intellectualized administration of crossroads traffic light,use operation in controlling the vehicular traffic regularity.Transportation research has the goal to optimize transportation flow of people and goods.As the number of road users constantly increases, and resources provided by current infras-tructures are limited, intelligent control of traffic will become a very important issue in thefuture.However, some limitations to the usage of intelligent tra?c control exist.Avoidingtraffic jams for example is thought to be beneficial to both environment and economy, butimproved traffic-flow may also lead to an increase in demand [Levinson, 2003].There are several models for traffic simulation.In our research we focus on microscopicmodels that model the behavior of individual vehicles, and thereby can simulate dynam-ics of groups of vehicles.Research has shown that such models yield realistic behavior[Nagel and Schreckenberg, 1992, Wahle and Schreckenberg, 2001].Cars in urban traffic can experience long travel times due to inefficient traffic light con-trol.Optimal control of traffic lights using sophisticated sensors and intelligent optimizationalgorithms might therefore bevery beneficial.Optimization of traffic light switching increasesroad capacity and traffic flow, and can prevent tra?c congestions.Traffic light control is acomplex optimization problem and several intelligent algorithms, such as fuzzy logic, evo-lutionary algorithms, and reinforcement learning(RL)have already been used in attemptsto solve it.In this paper we describe a model-based, multi-agent reinforcement learningalgorithm for controlling traffic lights.In our approach, reinforcement learning [Sutton and Barto, 1998, Kaelbling et al., 1996]with road-user-based value functions [Wiering, 2000] is used to determine optimal decisionsfor each traffic light.The decision is based on a cumulative vote of all road users standingfor a traffic junction, where each car votes using its estimated advantage(or gain)of settingits light to green.The gain-value is the difference between the total time it expects to waitduring the rest of its trip if the light for which it is currently standing is red, and if it is green.The waiting time until cars arrive at their destination is estimated by monitoring cars flowingthrough the infrastructure and using reinforcement learning(RL)algorithms.We compare the performance of our model-based RL method to that of other controllersusing the Green Light District simulator(GLD).GLD is a traffic simulator that allows usto design arbitrary infrastructures and traffic patterns, monitor traffic flow statistics such asaverage waiting times, and test different traffic light controllers.The experimental resultsshow that in crowded traffic, the RL controllers outperform all other tested non-adaptivecontrollers.We also test the use of the learned average waiting times for choosing routes of cars through the city(co-learning), and show that by using co-learning road users can avoidbottlenecks.

1.引言

作为城市交通增加的结果,道路网络的能力有限和发展交通工具和方法的技术方面，许多实体，关系，情况和规则已经进入交通灯控制域和转化成为一个知识领域。这个领域的建模知识帮助交通代理和应用有效地管理关于实时条件下的交通。全面知识建模领域的一个最合适的方法是使用本体概念。“本体论是一个正式的、明确的一个共享的概念化的规范。以前的模型是基本的本体建设的基础，为下列建立一个共享的语义丰富的知识域。除了本体作为概念化的形式主义的重要性，它有可能超过所代表的数据。这种能力将提高有关性能的决定和其他非智能系统的功能特点。在近年来，本体论上的研究正成为一个新的热点话题在不同的活动，如人工智能，知识管理，语义网络，电子商务和几个其他应用领域。这些领域之一是智能交通系统。一些努力已制成这个通过展示和使用本体检测交通领域拥塞，管理非城市道路气象事件，驾驶阿德福—索里系统，共享和整合一个智能交通系统。本文的目的是介绍一个红绿灯有效控制孤立交叉口这方面的知识重用的控制本体。这种新的办法适用于智能代理使用知识决策模糊。该系统采用的图像来自安装了监控摄像机拍摄的路口。这些图像处理利用图像处理算法和神经网络的方法，然后发送到一个智能代理。第2节中，我们将简要地解释了在这项工作中运用的技术包括seman-TIC网络技术，智能代理技术和交通的回地面光控制方法。在第3节，新的系统架构是基于分层语义网络架构。第4节介绍交通灯控制的模糊本体的建设。第五节从路口提取的图像信息解释。在第6节，智能系统的运作被完整描述，最后在第7节对所提出的方法进行评估，对结论进行阐述。

2.背景

本节说明在这项工作中的应用技术包括语义网络技术，特别本体和模糊本体。此外，国家的交通灯控制的艺术方法是简要介绍。2.1.语义网络技术

语义网络被定义为当前Wed的延伸，这些网站的信息都给出明确的含义;使电脑与人更好的合作。有几层语义Web的建议源自伯纳斯滞后阶段。在此类别中的所有规则如表1所示。图.4显示输出模式的示意图。本次评选有助于智能系统，以确定下一步的阶段测序。

另一种模糊的规则类别涉及估计优化周期时间。这些规则的模糊变量是天气条件，时间，每天平均车辆拥堵情况。出于这个原因，60个模糊规则被定义了。从气象研究所取得气象条件。日期和时间也是在交通专家的知识的基础上以模糊变量形式预先定义的。图5显示日期，时间和周期时间的隶属函数。当天的参数是在日历基础上基于假期和正常的一天与周期时间量的关系预定义的。例如，假期期间的周期时间是较平日少。因此，平日的隶属度比假期多。

例如一个阶段选型的模糊规则如下所述：“如果一个路口的类型是四的方式，平均车辆拥堵低，平均行人拥堵是中等，然后相类型是简单的两阶段”。此外，为周期时间估计的模糊规则表示如下：“如果天气条件是晴天，时间是早晨，天是正常的，平均车辆拥堵是低，则周期时间短”。在此类别中的所有规则都列在附录A。

在此步骤结束时，应该对交通灯逻辑控制的项目的有效性进行评估。此功能是使用专家的意见。评价过程的主要目的是显示发展的本体和其相关的软件环境的用处。虽然所有的信息，尤其是交通灯控制规则已提取国际标准和科学交通文学，专家的知识优势是他们最后的正确性验证标准。所有模糊规则，包括优化周期时间和相位类型的规则，在这个过程中，准备以调查问卷形式和展现给一些专家包括从德黑兰警察局交通上校和两名来自德黑兰的交通组织工程师。由于德尔菲专家的意见，约有84％的淘汰型规则和优化周期时间的87％被接受。此外，所有交通逻辑控制的元素包括概念，关系，属性和公理都被这些专家进行了评估和验证。我们评估逻辑交通控制是基于理论知识的。在这个过程中进行了两项活动，包括检查的要求和能力的问题，并在目标应用环境测试本体。由于逻辑交通控制已建成的基础上，如指定要求优化循环时间，逐步淘汰型，交通的移动和优化绿灯时间，每个阶段的序列中，第一项活动是最好的结果。逻辑交通控制满足所有的交通灯控制的需求，并能回答的能力问题。绩效评估机制，可以支持这种说法。在部分实验结果我们验证了这一过程。

1、前言

随着科技的发展，人们生活水平的提高，城市发展建设加快，城市给排水系统也有较大发展，其状况不断改善，但是，由于历史原因合成时间性的许多不可预见因素，城市给排水系统，特别是排水系统往往落后于城市建设，因此，经常出现开挖已经建设好的建筑设施来改造排水系统的现象。城市污水给人们带来的困扰，因此箱的排污疏通对大城市给排水系统污水理，人们生活舒适显得非常重要。而设计研制箱涵排水疏通移动机器人的自动控制系统，保证机器人在箱涵中自由排污疏通，是箱涵排水系统疏通机器人的设计研制的核心部分，控制系统核心部分就是超声波测仪的研制。因此，设计好的超声波测距仪就显得非常重要了。

1.1课题背景

随着经济的发展与汽车科学技术的进步，公路交通呈现出行驶高速化、车流密集化和驾驶员非职业化的趋势。同时，随着汽车工业的飞速发展，汽车的产量和保有量都在急剧增加。但公路发展、交通管理却相对落后，导致了交通事故与日剧增，城市里尤其突出。智能交通系统ITS是目前世界上交通运输科学技术的前沿技术，它在充分发挥现有基础设施的潜力，提高运输效率，保障交通安全，缓解交通赌塞，改善城市环境等方面的卓越效能，已得到各国政府的广泛关注。中国政府也高度重视智能交通系统的研究开发与推广应用。汽车防撞系统作为ITS 发展的一个基础，它的成功与否对整个系统有着很大的作用。从传统上说，汽车的安全可以分为两个主要研究方向:一是主动式安全技术，即防止事故的发生，该种方式是目前汽车安全研究的最终目的;二是被动式安全技术，即事故发生后的乘员保护。目前汽车安全领域被动安全研究较多，主要从安全气囊、ABS(防抱死系统)和悬架等方面着手，以保证驾乘人员的安全。从经济性和安全性两方面来说，中原工学院毕业设计（论文）译文

这些被动安全措施是在事故发生时刻对车辆和人员进行保护，有很大的局限性，因而车辆的主动安全研究尤为重要，引出了本文研究的基于单片机的超声波测距系统。这个系统是一种可向司机预先发出视听语音信号的探测装置。它安装在汽车上，能探测企图接近车身的行人、车辆或周围障碍物;能向司机及乘员提前发出即将发生撞车危险的信号，促使司机采取应急措施来应付特殊险情，避免损失。

1.2 课题设计的意义

随着现代社会工业化程的发展，汽车这一交通工具正为越来越多的人所用，但是随之而来的问题也显而易见，那就是随着车辆的增多，交通事故的频繁发生，由此导致的人员伤亡和财产损失数目惊人。对于公路交通事故的分析表明，80%以上的车祸事由于驾驶员反应不及所引起的，超过65%的车辆相撞属于追尾相撞，其余则属于侧面相撞。奔驰汽车公司对各类交通事故的研究表明：若驾驶员能够提早1S 意识到有事故危险并采取相应的正确措施，则绝大多数的交通事故都可以避免。因此，大力研究开发如汽车防撞装置等主动式汽车辅助安全装置，减少驾驶员的负担和判断错误，对于提高交通安全将起到重要的作用。显然，此类产品的研究开发具有极大的实现意义和广阔的应用前景。

1.3超声波测距在汽车上应用的介绍

超声波倒车测距仪(俗称电子眼)是汽车倒车防撞安全辅助装置，能以声音或者更为直观的数字形式动态显示周围障碍物的情况。其较早的产品是用蜂鸣器报警，蜂鸣声越急，表示车辆离障碍物越近。后继的产品可以显示车后障碍物离车体的距离。其大多数产品探测范围在0.4～1.5m，有的产品能达到0.35～2.5m，并有距离显示、声响报警、区域警示和方位指示，有些产品还具备开机自检功能。目前市场上还出现了具有语音报警功能的产品。这些产品存在的主要问题是测量盲区大，报警滞后，未考虑汽车制动时的惯性因素，使驾驶者制动滞后，抗干扰能力不强，误报也较多。汽车防撞雷达之所以能实现防撞报警功能，主要有超声波这把无形尺子, 它测量最近障碍物的距离, 并告诉给车主。其实超声测距原理简单: 它发射超声波并接收反射回波, 通过单片机计数器获得两者时间差t, 利用公式S=Ct/2计算距离, 其中S为汽车与障碍物之间的距离, C为声波在介质中的传播速度。

本文介绍的超声测距系统共有2只超声波换能器(俗称探头),分别布置在汽车的后左、后右2个位置上。能检测前进和倒车方向障碍物距离, 通过后视镜内置的

中原工学院毕业设计（论文）译文

显示单元显示距离和方位, 发出一定的声响, 起到提示和警戒的作用。系统采用一片STC89C52单片机对两路超声波信号进行循环采集。超声波是指频率高于20HHZ的机械波。为了以超声波作为检测手段，必须产生超生波和接收超声波。完成这种功能的装置就是超声波传感器，习惯上称为超声波换能器或超声波探头。超声波传感器有发送器和接收器，但一个超声波传感器也可具有发送和接收声波的双重作用。超声波传感器是利用压电效应的原理将电能和超声波相互转化，即在发射超声波的时候，将电能转换，发射超声波；而在收到回波的时候，则将超声振动转换成电信号。超声波测距的原理一般采用渡越时间法。首先测出超声波从发射到遇到障碍物返回所经历的时间，再乘以超声波的速度就得到二倍的声源与障碍物之间的距离。测量距离的方法有很多种，短距离的可以用尺，远距离的有激光测距等，超声波测距适用于高精度的中长距离测量。因为超声波在标准空气中的传播速度为331.45米/秒，由单片机负责计时，单片机使用12.0M晶振，所以此系统的测量精度理论上可以达到毫米级。由于超声波指向性强，能量消耗缓慢，在介质中传播距离远，因而超声波可以用于距离的测量。利用超声波检测距离，设计比较方便，计算处理也较简单，并且在测量精度方面也能达到要求。超声波发生器可以分为两类：一类是用电气方式产生超声波，一类是用机械方式产生超声波。本设计属于近距离测量，可以采用常用的压电式超声波换能器来实现触发单元。

利用超声波测距的工作，就可以根据测量发射波与反射波之间的时间间隔，从而达到测量距离的作用。其主要有三种测距方法：

（1）相位检测法，相位检测法虽然精度高，但检测范围有限；

（2）声波幅值检测法，声波幅值检测法易受反射波的影响；

（3）渡越时间检测法，渡越时间检测法的工作方式简单，直观，在硬件控制和软件设计上都非常容易实现。其原理为：检测从发射传感器发射超声波，经气体介质传播到接收传感器的时间，这个时间就是渡越时间。本设计的超声波测距就是使用了渡越时间检测法。在移动车辆中应用的超声波传感器，是利用超声波在空气中的定向传播和固体反射特性（纵波），通过接收自身发射的超声波反射信号，根据超声波发出及回波接收的时间差和传播速度，计算传播距离，从而得到障碍物到车辆的距离。

2.1 压电式超声波发生器原理

压电式超声波发生器实际上是利用压电晶体的谐振来工作的。超声波发生器内部结构，它有两个压电晶片和一个共振板。当它的两极外加脉冲信号，其频率等于压电晶片的固有振荡频率时，压电晶片将会发生共振，并带动共振板振动，便产生超声波。反之，如果两极板间未加电压，当共振板接收到超声波时，将压迫压电晶片做振动，将机械能转换为电信号，这是它就成为超声波接收器了。

测量脉冲到达时间的传统方法是以拥有固定参数的接收信号开端为基础的。这个信号恰恰选于噪音水平之上，然而脉冲到达时间被定义为脉冲信号刚好超过界限的第一时刻。一个物体的脉冲强度很大程度上取决于这个物体的自然属性尺寸还有它与传感器的距离。进一步说，从脉冲起始点到刚好超过界限之间的时间段随着脉冲的强度而改变。结果，一种错误便出现了——两个拥有不同强度的脉冲在不同时间超过界限却在同一时刻到达。强度较强的脉冲会比强度较弱的脉冲超过界限的时间早点，因此我们会认为强度较强的脉冲属于较近的物体。

2.2 超声波测距原理

超声波发射器向某一方向发射超声波，在发射时刻的同时开始计时，超声波在空气中传播，途中碰到障碍物就立即返回来，超声波接收器收到反射波就立即停止计时。超声波在空气中的传播速度为340m/s，根据计时器记录的时间t，就可以计算出发射点距离障碍物的距离(s)，即：s=340t/2

3、超声波测距系统的电路设计

系统的特点是利用单片机控制超声波的发射和超声波自发射至接受往返时间的计时，单片机选用C51，经济易用，且片内有4K的ROM，便于编程。电路的原理如图1所示。

3.2 超声波的接收与处理

接收头采用与发射头配对的UCM40R，将超声波调制脉冲变为电压信号，经运算放大器ic1a和ic1b两级放大后加至IC2,。IC2是带有锁定环的音频译码集成块LM567，内部压控振荡器的中心频率f0=1/1.1R8C3，电容C4决定其带宽。调节R8在发射的载频上，则LM567输入信号大于25mv，输出端8脚由5由高电平跃变为低电平，作为中断请求信号，送至单片机处理。

5、结论

对所要求测量范围30cm-200cm内的平面物体做了多次测量发现，其最大误差为1.5cm，且重复性好。可见基于单片机设计的超声波测距系统具有硬件结构简单、工作可靠、测量误差小等特点。因此，它不仅可用于移动机器人，还可以用在其他检测系统中。

思考：至于为什么不用接收管做放大电路，因为放大倍数搞不好，集成放大电路，还带自动电平增益控制，放大倍数为76db，中心频率是38k到40k，刚好是超声波传感器的谐振频率。

Ultrasonic back-draft rangefinder(known as electron optics)automotive anti-collision reversing device, can safe adjunct to sound or more intuitive digital form the dynamic display of around obstacles.Its earlier products is to use buzzer alarm, hum more anxious, and says vehicles from obstructions closer.Subsequent product can display the car from the body after the obstacles distance.Most of its products detection range in 0.4 ~ 1.5 m, some product can achieve 0.35 ~ 2.5 m, and have distance display, sound alarm, area-warning and azimuth instructions, some products also has the boot self-checking function.Still appeared on the market at present with voice alarm function of products.These products are the main problem is big, alarm measuring blind area lags behind, without considering the automobile braking inertial factors and make drivers brake lag, the anti-interference ability is not strong, misstatement or more.The automotive anti-collision radar is able to realize impact-proof alarm functions, basically have ultrasonic this intangible ruler, it recently obstacles distance measurement, and told to the owner.Actually ultrasonic range-finding principle simple: it emit ultrasonic echo, and receive reflected by microcontroller counter obtain both lag using formula S = t, Ct / 2 calculating distances, including S for cars and obstacles, C for the distance between the sound wave propagation in the medium speed.This paper introduces the ultrasonic ranging system only have 2 ultrasonic transducer(known as probe)respectively, decorate in cars left and right after after 2 position.Capable of detecting forward and reverse direction obstacle distance, the rearview mirror built-in display element display distance and direction, issued must be sound, plays the role of hints and alert.System USES a STC89C52 SCM two way ultrasonic signal cyclicly acquisition.Ultrasonic refers to the 20HHZ wave frequency is over.In order to use the ultrasonic detection means, must generate as ultrasonic wave and receiving damnation.Complete the functions of the device is called the

ultrasonic sensor, habit, ultrasonic transducer or ultrasonic probe.Ultrasonic sensors have both transmitters and receivers, but a ultrasonic sensors can also has the sending and receiving the sound waves of the dual role.Ultrasonic sensors is using the principle of piezoelectric effect and ultrasonic energy conversion, be in namely emit ultrasonic, energy conversion, launch ultrasonic, And in the stockades, received echo ultrasonic vibration into electrical signal.Ultrasonic ranging principle generally USES the time method for the crossing.First measured ultrasonic from the launch to meet obstacles returns experience of time, again multiply ultrasonic speed of get twice the distance between the sound source and obstacles.Measuring distance a variety of ways, short can use ruler, long-range laser displacement etc, are suitable for high accuracy of ultrasonic ranging in long distance measurement.Because of ultrasound in standard air of propagation speed 331.45 meters per second, by single-chip microcomputer is responsible for timing, SCM use 12.0 M crystals, so the system of measurement precision theory can achieve mm level.Because of ultrasonic directivity strong, energy consumption is slow, in a medium transmission distance, thus ultrasonic can be used for distance measurement.Using ultrasonic detection distance, the design is more convenient, computing procese also relatively simple, and the measurement precision can also meet the requirements.Ultrasonic generator can be divided into two kinds: one kind is to use electrical means producing ultrasonic, one kind is with mechanical approach to producing ultrasonic.This design belongs to nearly distance measurement, can use commonly used the piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer to achieve trigger unit.Using ultrasonic ranging work, can according to measuring launch reflection wave wave and the time interval between the measured distance, so as to achieve the effect.It mainly have three ranging methods:

2.A principle of ultrasonic distance measurement

2.1 the principle of piezoelectric ultrasonic generator

Piezoelectric ultrasonic generator is the use of piezoelectric crystal resonators to work.Ultrasonic generator, the internal structure as shown, it has two piezoelectric chip and a resonance plate.When it’s two plus pulse signal, the frequency equal to the intrinsic piezoelectric oscillation frequency chip, the chip will happen piezoelectric resonance, and promote the development of plate vibration resonance, ultrasound is generated.Conversely, if the two are not inter-electrode voltage, when the board received ultrasonic resonance, it will be for vibration suppression, then it becomes the ultrasonic receiver.The traditional way to determine the moment of the echo’s arrival is based on thresholding the received signal with a fixed reference.The threshold is chosen well above the noise level, whereas the moment of arrival of an echo is defined as the first moment the echo signal surpasses that threshold.The intensity of an echo reflecting from an object strongly depends on the object’s nature, size and distance from the sensor.Further, the time interval from the echo’s starting point to the moment when it surpasses the threshold changes with the different intensities arriving exactly at the same tome will surpass the threshold at different moments.The stronger one will surpass the threshold earlier than the weaker, so it will be considered as belonging to a nearer object.2.2 The principle of ultrasonic distance measurement Ultrasonic transmitter in a direction to launch ultrasound, in the moment to launch the beginning of time at the same time, the spread of ultrasound in the air, obstracles on his way to return immediately, the ultrasonic reflected wave wave received by the reveiver immediately stop the clock.Ultrasonic in the air as the propagation velocity of 340m/s, according to the timer records the time t, we can calculate the distance between the launch distance barrier(s), that is:s=340t/2

I.INTRODUCTION The goal of this project is to develop and build a prototype of a high-efficiency, high-temperature isolated DC-DC converter to be used as a biased power supply for driving a complementary IGBT pair.It is important that the converter can deliver the required power at an ambient temperature of up to 100℃;therefore it has to be efficient so that its components do not exceed their maximum temperature ratings.The final converter will be completely sealed and potted in a metal case.The input voltage range for this converter is from 9V to 36V.The output sides have two terminals, one is﹢16V and the other one is﹣6V.In order to get the desired performance, anLT3574 IC chip from Linear Technology is used.The key to this design is the flyback transformer.The transformer using planar EI-core is designed and simulated using ANSYS PExprt software.Finally, the PCB layout of the converter will be presented.II.KEY DESIGN OUTLINE For this flyback topology, the output voltage can be determined by both the transformer turns ratio and the flyback loop resistor pairs.Therefore, at the initial design stage, we can choose a convenient turn’s ratio for the transformer, and modify it later on if necessary to make sure the output performance is desirable and the transformer will not saturate [1].The relationship between transformers turns ratio and duty cycle can be found as

Where n is the transformer turns ratio, D is the duty cycle, VO` is the sum of the output voltage plus the rectifier drop voltage, VIN is the input voltage of the transformer.The value of feedback resistor can be calculated as

Where RREF is the reference resistor, whose value is typically 6.04kΩ;α is a constant of 0.986;VBG is the internal band gap reference voltage, 1.23V;and VTC is normally 0.55V [1].With a specific IC chosen, the converter circuit can be designed based on a demo circuit and some parameters may need to be modified if necessary to optimize the performance.Furthermore, in LT Spice, a large number of simulations need to be done with different conditions such as load resistor values and input voltage levels.It is important to make sure that the output voltage can be regulated well with all these different conditions.The most critical part of the design is the flyback transformer.With high switching frequency, the AC resistance can only be estimated based on some traditional methods such as Dowell’s curve rule [2].In order to get more accurate values of AC resistance values;we propose to use finite element electromagnetic software ANSYS PExprt to do the design [3].At the initial design stage, key parameters such as the worst-case input voltage, frequency, material, inductance values will be decided.After that, these data will be imported to the software, from which an optimized solution will be generated.III.CONVERTER SIMULATION RESULTS We choose LT3574 chip in this design.From the simulation results in Figure 1 and Table 1, it clearly shows that the output voltages which are﹢16V and-6V respectively can be regulated pretty well with the input voltage range from 9V to 36V.The voltage tolerance ranges are from ﹢15V to ﹢19V and-12V toDC converter for low voltage power supply application has been designed.The modeling and simulation results are presented.Based on the design specifications, a suitable IC from Linear Technology is chosen.A large amount of circuit simulations with different conditions such as load resistor values and input voltage levels are presented to get the desirable output voltage and current performance.The transformer has been designed including electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.With all the specific components decided, the PCB layout of the converter has been designed as well.REFERENCE
