Abstract
A rough road detection system for a vehicle according to the present invention includes a frequency domain module, an engine misfire module, and a rough road module. The frequency domain module converts a vector signal into a frequency domain signal. The engine misfire module determines whether an engine misfires based on the frequency domain signal. The rough road detection module determines whether the vehicle is driving on a rough road based on the frequency domain signal.
