Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for disinfecting a cabin of a vehicle. In one example, a disinfection system comprises a controller, an ultraviolet radiation source, an air duct, and a steerable optical system. The ultraviolet radiation source is in communication with the controller, disposed within the air duct, and configured to emit ultraviolet radiation. The air duct comprises an inlet configured to receive air particles from within the cabin. The air duct comprises one or more internal reflective surfaces configured to reflect the ultraviolet radiation so as to disinfect the air particles within the air duct. The air duct comprises an outlet configured to transmit the disinfected air particles out of the air duct via the outlet. The steerable optical system is coupled to the air duct and configured to receive and selectively direct the ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the cabin. Additional systems and related methods are provided.
