A system is provided for removing particulate matter from a particulate filter, which includes at least one particulate filter unit. The system includes an engine controller coupled to each sensor and the engine, and a locomotive controller coupled to the engine controller. Each sensor continuously outputs a first alert signal to the engine controller, including the current load and the loading rate of one or more particulate filter units. The engine controller determines a projected load and projected loading rate of the one or more particulate filter units along the route, and a time gap or distance gap based on the trip plan along the route until the one or more particulate filter units are fully loaded. Additionally, the engine controller determines a time region or distance region within the respective time gap or distance gap filter unit, based on at least one of the current load, the loading rate, the projected load, the projected loading rate, and the time region or distance region.
