Abstract
A method for operating an internal combustion engine which has an exhaust-gas system in which a first exhaust-gas purification component and a second exhaust-gas purification component are arranged, and which has an opening-in point via which secondary air can be injected into the exhaust-gas system. The method is distinguished by the fact that an outlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent prevailing at an outlet of the first exhaust-gas purification component is calculated by means of an outlet emissions model, and that an inlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent prevailing at an inlet of the second exhaust-gas purification component is determined in a manner dependent on the calculated outlet concentration, and that the internal combustion engine is operated in a manner dependent on the thus determined inlet concentration of the at least one exhaust-gas constituent.
