Method and device for controlling the regeneration of a particle filter

Controlling the regeneration of a particulate filter for an internal combustion engine by combustion of accumulated particulates comprises spatially resolved modeling of the combustion process. An independent claim is also included for a control system (10) for controlling the regeneration of a particulate filter (4) for an internal combustion engine (1) by combustion of accumulated particles, comprising a modeling unit (11) for spatially resolved modeling of the combustion process.
