1. A system comprising:
a heater associated with an aftertreatment system of a vehicle;
a controller coupled to the heater and the aftertreatment system, the controller comprising at least one processor coupled to a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receive data indicative of at least one of a current route or of a current performance of the vehicle;
correlate at least one of the current route or the current performance to a control strategy;
determine at least one of a timing or a duration of an active regeneration event for the aftertreatment system based on the correlated control strategy; and
activate the heater to raise a temperature of exhaust gas in the aftertreatment system to at least a target regeneration temperature, wherein the heater is activated according to at least one of the determined timing or the determined duration of the active regeneration event for the aftertreatment system.
