DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING A TORQUE REQUIREMENT FOR A DRIVE MACHINE AND REDUCING POWER TRAIN SHOCKS

The invention relates to a device and a method for processing a torque request for a drive engine and for reducing drivetrain shocks. The device is configured to receive, on the input side, at least one torque request and at least one identifier for identifying a source of the torque request. The device is further configured to select one of predetermined signal processing alternatives in dependence on the at least one identifier (8b, 9b) and to apply it to at least one received torque request (8a, 9a) in order to produce at least one processed torque request (11, 12), wherein the predetermined signal processing alternatives differ in a time delay with which the at least one processed torque request (11, 12) is output.
