A system includes a multi-access edge computing camera that can determine characteristics of a group of waiting vehicle passengers based on machine-classification and count of individual elements of the group derived from imaging the group with the camera and supplement at least the count based on short-range wireless broadcast received from mobile devices possessed by members of the group. The camera conveys the characteristics to a dispatch process, and the dispatch process determines that a non-dispatched fleet vehicle has present capacity to accommodate the determined characteristics. The dispatch process determine that the characteristics meet a defined predicate for dispatch of the non-dispatched fleet vehicle and responsive to determining that the characteristics meet a defined predicate for dispatch of the non-dispatched fleet vehicle, dispatches the fleet vehicle.
