Automated dynamic throttle request filtering

A method for providing dynamic throttle pedal filtering of a vehicle, comprising:

• receiving wheel speed signal inputs from a number of wheel speed sensors included on the vehicle;
• determining, based on the received wheel speed signal inputs, rough driving surface magnitude values representing sensed driving surface roughness;
• determining whether a rough driving surface is detected;
• and
• when a rough driving surface is detected:
• determining filtered torque demand values based on a calculated combination of a throttle pedal input corresponding to a vehicle operator's engagement of a throttle pedal and the rough driving surface magnitude values;
• and
• filtering the received throttle pedal input by transmitting one or more filtered torque demand requests to one or more powertrain components to perform one or more powertrain actions to move the vehicle based on the filtered torque demand values.

A vehicle having a computer readable storage device configured to store computer readable instructions, which when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the vehicle to:

• receive a throttle pedal input associated with a position of the throttle pedal;
• receive rough driving surface magnitude values representing sensed driving surface roughness;
• receive an indication that a rough driving surface is detected;
• determine filtered torque demand values based on a calculated combination of the throttle pedal input and the rough driving surface magnitude values;
• and
• filter the received throttle pedal input by transmitting one or more filtered torque demand requests to one or more powertrain components to perform one or more powertrain actions to move the vehicle based on the filtered torque demand values.
