A torque request generation system for use with a coordinated torque
control system of a vehicle includes an input receiving a vehicle speed
and an axle torque command. A datastore records a three-dimensional
torque surface defined in terms of a coordinate system having a first
axis related to the axle torque command, a second axis related to the
vehicle speed, and a third axis related to an axle torque request. A
torque request generation module accesses the datastore and generates a
torque request based on a correlation between the axle torque command and
the vehicle speed respective of the three-dimensional torque surface.
