Abstract
A vehicle system includes a detection device structurally configured to capture an image, a door lock, where the door lock is positionable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a controller communicatively coupled to the detection device and the door lock, the controller including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable and executable instruction set, which when executed, causes the processor to receive a captured image of a user from the detection device, determine whether the captured image of includes protective equipment worn by the user, and direct the door lock to move into the unlocked position in response to determining that the protective equipment in the captured image meets a configurable protective equipment baseline.
