Based on a set of planned control parameters defining a planned path for a vehicle, a set of reference control parameters corresponding to the set of planned path control parameters are identified. Optimized controller inputs associated with the identified set of reference control parameters, the set of planned control parameters, and operation noise data are input to a vehicle dynamics model that outputs a vehicle state model. Based on the vehicle state model, an actual path for the vehicle and an operating range for the actual path are determined. The planned path is determined to be one of verified or unverified based on the operating range.

Vehicle path verification

A method includes automatically operating an electrified vehicle in a noise reduction mode, via a control system of the electrified vehicle, if, based at least on noise restriction information and driver history information received by the control system, a current time and a current location of the electrified vehicle are appropriate for invoking the noise reduction mode.
