Task analysis is an important tool that enables designers to consider the human factors implications of a new technology. This paper details a task analysis for the task of driving long-haul freight trains in Australia and describes how this task analysis was used to evaluate a new in-cab information support technology. This paper then explores similarities and differences between this task analysis and one proposed by Roth and Multer (2009). It is argued that these two task analyses can form the basis for many future task analyses so that we can avoid 'reinventing the wheel,' allowing us to focus more on potential interesting differences between operations and geographical locations.
任务分析是一种重要的工具，使设计者能够考虑新技术的人为因素影响。本文详细介绍了在澳大利亚驾驶长途货运列车任务的任务分析，并描述了如何使用此任务分析来评估新的驾驶室信息支持技术。然后，本文探讨了此任务分析与 Roth 和 Multer（2009 年）提出的任务分析之间的相似点和不同点。有人认为，这两个任务分析可以作为许多未来任务分析的基础，以便我们避免“重新发明轮子”，从而使我们能够更多地关注操作和地理位置之间可能存在的有趣差异。
