Methods and systems for treatment of vehicle surfaces and air

A method for treating a land-based vehicle having at least one enclosed compartment with radiation, wherein the method comprises:

• sensing at least one attribute associated with the land-based vehicle using at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a door sensor;
• wherein a door of the land-based vehicle comprises an open position and a closed position and has a lock that has a locked state and an unlocked state;
• determining, with at least one processor based on data provided by the at least one sensor, a probability of a presence of beings for the at least one enclosed compartment of the land-based vehicle;
• sending tinting signals to a surface tinting means;
• wherein the tinting signals adjust a window tinting on at least one window of the land-based vehicle based on the tinting signals;
• wherein the window tinting has a shade having a safe shade and an unsafe shade;
• wherein, if a probability of the presence of beings is below the probability threshold, the surface tinting means adjusts the shade to the safe shade, thereby preventing unsafe UV-C light from passing through the at least one window;
• sending light signals to at least one sanitizing light source when the probability of the presence of beings is below the probability threshold and if the shade is the safe shade;
• activating the at least one sanitizing light source based on the light signals to emit unsafe UV-C light when the probability of the presence of beings is below the probability threshold and if the shade is the safe shade;
• and
• activating (i) the at least one sanitizing light source, based on the light signals, to emit safe UV-C light when the probability of the presence of beings is above the probability threshold and if the shade is the unsafe shade, and (ii) stopping the at least one sanitizing light source from emitting unsafe UV-C light;
• if the at least one sanitizing light source is activated, then unlocking the land based vehicle (i) causes a modification to the probability of the presence of beings to be above the probability threshold, and (ii) halts any emittance of unsafe UV-C light.
