ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for smoothing a throttle plate position command prior to being used by a closed loop throttle control unit. The method sequentially indexes through a lookup table storing a series of values of a smoothing function at routine time intervals. The difference between the current throttle plate command and the received throttle plate command is multiplied by the value of the smoothing function indexed from the lookup table. The product is then added to a reference throttle plate position command to generate a series of smoothed throttle plate position commands applied to the throttle control unit which provides smoother operation.
