Report for 2.2.1 Task 4: Software-Based Tools to Support Human-System Evaluation Studies
INL contracted IFE to develop custom software functionality to support INL’s control room simulator data collections. The tool described in this report provides functionality for authoring, managing and executing so-called micro task data collections (Hildebrandt and Eitrheim, 2015), where operators receive a long list of operational tasks, and the speed and accuracy of their response is measured. The tool consists of an editor, player and observer module. This report contains methodological background and a user guide.
