Abstract
A sanitizing system includes a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) lamps and a control unit that includes one or more processors. The UV lamps are mounted at various locations within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The UV lamps are configured to receive electrical power from a power source onboard the vehicle and to emit UV light into the internal cabin during a trip of the vehicle. The control unit is operatively connected to the UV lamps and configured to modify the electrical power supplied to one or more of the UV lamps located in a common area of the internal cabin based on occupancy of the common area.
