Abstract

The EVTA process generates a task-descriptive data base (Dury et al., 1987, page 375) from a detailed analysis of operator's observable activities and communications. The essential features of the EVTA process are the use of video/audio equipment to gather permanent records of operator activities from operational environments, and the generation of an empirical record of activity times through a software package which builds, manages and analyzes the resulting data base.
