A method, based on dynamic programming, is presented enabling unbiased concept evaluation and system optimization of future wheel loader concepts with regards to fuel efficiency and/or productivity. The method ensures insensitiveness towards operator repeatability while in the same time eliminating tuning of control algorithms for each concept. A positive spin-off is that the same results can be used to extract control strategies that can constitute the base in an operator assist system. The operator assist system can be either passive or active.
