Abstract: A passenger conveyance special loading system includes a depth-sensing sensor for capturing depth map data of objects within a field of view. A processing module in communication with the depth-sensing sensor receives the depth map data, the processing module uses the depth map data calculate passenger data associated with an object to determine a special loading condition. A passenger conveyance controller receives the passenger data from the processing module, the passenger conveyance controller controls a passenger conveyance dispatch control function in response to the special loading condition.
