The computing device is configured to receive, from the one or more sensors, image data while the one or more light sources are illuminating the restraint system. The computing device is also configured to determine, based on the image data, a position for each of the straps. The computing device is additionally configured to verify whether the position of each of the straps is in a respective predetermined location and output an indication of whether each of the straps are in the respective predetermined location.
