Abstract
A method is disclosed for operating an aftertreatment system having a diesel particulate filter of an internal combustion engine of an automotive system. A regeneration event of the diesel particulate filter is started. The presence of an object ahead of the automotive system is detected. A value of a deceleration that the automotive system should perform in order to avoid a collision with the object is determined. A temperature of the diesel particulate filter is reduced if the value of the deceleration is greater than a first predetermined threshold value.
