1. A method of controlling motor vehicle operation, comprising:
- setting, by a control unit, a creep torque as a minimum torque;
setting, by the control unit, a maximum torque as a sum of a maximum torque of an engine and a maximum torque of a motor;
monitoring, by the control unit, a pedal position sensor (PPS) value;
calculating, by the control unit, a demand torque based on the PPS value;
setting, by the control unit, a filter coefficient for filtering the demand torque based on an operating condition of the vehicle; and
filtering, by the control unit, the demand torque with the filter coefficient,wherein the operating condition is selected from the group consisting of a traction control system (TCS), an electronic stability program (ESP), a state of charge (SOC), a rate of change of an accelerator pedal position sensor (APS) value, a rate of change of a brake pedal position sensor (BPS) value, and a current driving mode,wherein when a control flag for the ESP is turned on, the filter coefficient is set to a minimal value to rapidly change the demand torque,wherein when the SOC is substantially low, the filter coefficient is set to a larger value to decrease the change of the demand torque,wherein each possible operating condition is assigned a priority value,wherein the filter coefficient is set to correspond to the operating conditions with highest priority values, andwherein the operating condition with the highest priority value is the ESP.

4. A system of controlling hybrid motor vehicle operation, comprising:
-
an engine; a motor; one or more operation condition sensors configured to produce sensor values; and a control unit, wherein the control unit is adapted to control the engine and the motor, and to select a demand torque based on one or more of the sensor values, wherein the control unit is further configured to filter the demand torque using a filter coefficient according to the one or more operation condition sensor values, wherein the one or more operation condition sensors are selected from the group consisting of a traction control system (TCS), an electronic stability program (ESP), a state of charge (SOC), a rate of change of an accelerator pedal position sensor (APS) value, a rate of change of a brake pedal position sensor (BPS) value, and a current driving mode, wherein when a control flag for the ESP is turned on, the filter coefficient is set to a minimal value to rapidly change the demand torque, wherein when the SOC is substantially low, the filter coefficient is set to a larger value to decrease the change of the demand torque, wherein the control unit is further configured to assign a priority value to each operation condition sensor value, wherein the filter coefficient corresponds to the operation condition sensor value having the higher priority value, and wherein the operating condition with the highest priority value is the ESP.
