A regeneration compliance system is provided and includes navigation, regeneration, zone and timing modules. The navigation module determines a location of a vehicle. The regeneration module determines a state of a PF of an exhaust system of an engine of the vehicle and whether to regenerate the PF based on the state of the PF. The zone module, based on the location of the vehicle, determines whether the vehicle is in a regeneration permitted zone and where regeneration permitted and prohibited zones are located relative to the vehicle. The timing module estimates time to a next regeneration permitted zone or an amount of time remaining in a current regeneration permitted zone. The regeneration module controls when the PF is regenerated based on (i) the state of the PF, and (ii) the time to the next regeneration permitted zone or the amount of time remaining in the current regeneration permitted zone.
A regeneration compliance system comprising:
A method of controlling timing and location of regeneration of a particulate filter of an exhaust system of an engine of a vehicle, the method comprising:
