METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE REGENERATION OF AN INTEGRATED TRAP IN THE EXHAUST LINE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND SYSTEM FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION

摘要

A method for controlling the regeneration of a trap (7) for polluting substances emitted by an internal combustion engine fitted to a motor vehicle or road vehicle, comprising controlled means (9, 10, 11, 12) for periodically regenerating said trap ( 7) by eliminating the substances trapped therein, characterized in that the moment of the regeneration is chosen so as to limit the duration of the regeneration and to limit the overconsumption of said engine generated by said trap, the choice of said moment being based on knowledge of the past operating conditions of said vehicle which have occurred since the last regeneration and on the estimation of the future operating conditions of said vehicle, these future conditions being provided by means of predictions (30) of the operation of the vehicle.
