1. A vehicle comprising:

  • an internal combustion engine having an exhaust port;

    a particulate filter in fluid communication with the engine via the exhaust port, wherein the particulate filter is regenerable using heat; and

    a host machine operable for calculating a predicted peak temperature in the particulate filter, and for automatically executing a control action when the predicted peak temperature exceeds a calibrated threshold;

    wherein execution of the control action prevents the peak temperature from being realized.
