Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a vehicle that includes an engine that may be automatically stopped and started are described. In one example, a requested driver demand power may be filtered via a first order low pass filter in response to a powertrain speed. The filtered requested driver demand power may be a basis for automatically stopping and starting an engine.
