A remote user can define one or more zone based driver/vehicle behavior definitions. Current vehicle location is analyzed at the vehicle or remotely to determine if the vehicle is approaching or has arrived at a location for which a zone based driver/vehicle behavior has been defined. For zone based driver behavior definitions, a display in the vehicle automatically displays the zone based driver behavior definition to the driver. In some embodiments driver compliance is tracked and non-compliance is reported to the remote user. For zone based vehicle behavior definitions, a vehicle controller at the vehicle responsible for controlling the defined behavior is reprogrammed to impose the defined behavior (no regeneration at location, max speed at location, no idle over 2 minutes at location, etc.). Once the vehicle has left the zone, the controller programming reverts to its prior state, and/or zone based driver behavior definition is no longer displayed.

1. A method for preventing automatic regeneration of a diesel particulate filter based on a location of a vehicle, comprising the steps of: (a) enabling a remote user to define at least one location where automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented;(b) automatically collecting vehicle location data during operation of the vehicle;(c) automatically analyzing the location of the vehicle to determine if the vehicle is within a predetermined distance from the at least one location where automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented; and(d) when the vehicle is within the predetermined distance, automatically preventing regeneration of the diesel particulate filter so long as the vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of automatically analyzing the location of the vehicle is implemented by a processor remote from the vehicle, and further comprising the steps of: (a) automatically conveying the vehicle location data collected during operation of the vehicle from the vehicle to the remote processor; and(b) when the vehicle is within the predetermined distance, automatically conveying instructions to at least one vehicle controller at the vehicle to prevent automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter for that location. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of automatically analyzing the location of the vehicle is implemented by a processor at the vehicle, and further comprising the step of automatically conveying to the vehicle from the remote user the at least one location and predetermined distance, defining an area at which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of automatically analyzing the location of the vehicle is implemented by a processor at the vehicle, and further comprising the steps of: (a) automatically conveying the at least one location and the predetermined distance defining an area for which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented from a controller remote from the vehicle to a controller at the vehicle;(b) when the controller in the vehicle determines that the vehicle location is within the area, automatically conveying from the controller at the vehicle to the remote controller a request to confirm that automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented for the vehicle location, before preventing such automatic regeneration. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one location corresponds to a warehouse. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one location corresponds to a tank farm. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one location corresponds to a port. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one location is a point. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one location is an area. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the area is irregularly shaped. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the area has been user defined by a geo fence. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined distance is zero, so that the vehicle must be at the at least one location for regeneration to be prevented. 13. A system for preventing automatic regeneration of a diesel particulate filter based on a location of a vehicle, the system comprising: (a) at least one vehicle controller controlling automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter;(b) a vehicle position determining component;(c) a memory for storing at least one location at which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented;(d) at least one processor, the at least one processor being configured to implement the functions of analyzing a vehicle location to determine if the vehicle is within a predetermined distance of the at least one location at which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented; and(e) whenever the vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location at which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented, automatically preventing regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor includes a processor remote from the vehicle, the remote processor being configured to determine if the vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location, and further comprising the steps of: (a) automatically conveying the vehicle location data collected during operation of the vehicle from the vehicle to the remote processor; and(b) when the vehicle is within the predetermined distance, automatically conveying instructions to at least one vehicle controller at the vehicle to prevent automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter for that location. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor includes a processor at the vehicle and the vehicle processor is configured to determine if the vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location, and further comprising the step of automatically conveying to the vehicle from a remote user the at least one location and the predetermined range, defining the area at which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented. 16. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor includes a processor at the vehicle and the vehicle processor is configured to determine if the vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location, and further comprising the steps of: (a) automatically conveying the at least one location for which automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented from a controller remote from the vehicle to a controller at the vehicle;(b) when the controller at the vehicle determines that the vehicle location is within the predetermined distance of the at least one location, automatically conveying from the controller at the vehicle to the remote controller a request to confirm that automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter is to be prevented for the vehicle location, before preventing such automatic regeneration. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one location is an area. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the area is irregularly shaped. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the area has been user defined by a geo fence. 20. The system of claim 13, wherein the predetermined distance is zero, so that the vehicle must be at the at least one location for regeneration to be prevented.
