1. A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
mapping driver demand wheel torque, where the driver demand wheel torque is determined from a driver demand wheel torque input device;
selecting a minimum wheel torque from a plurality of torques;
including the minimum wheel torque in the relationship between the mapped driver demand wheel torque and the driver demand wheel torque request;
adjusting torque of one or more powertrain propulsion sources via a controller as a function of the relationship between the mapped driver demand wheel torque and the driver demand wheel torque request to generate consistent wheel torque; and
generating the consistent wheel torque during vehicle coasting conditions, vehicle creep conditions, and transitions between vehicle coasting conditions and vehicle creep conditions irrespective of which of the one or more powertrain propulsion sources generates the consistent wheel torque.
