1. An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that configure the apparatus to:
identify a set of network response assets;
determine, for each network response asset of the set of network response assets, a capacity based at least in part on an availability of the network response asset;
determine, for each network response asset of the set of network response assets, a dispatch mode based at least in part on the capacity of the network response asset;
receive a request data object;
extract from the request data object a set of request parameters including at least a first location identification associated with a requested intermediate destination;
determine, for each network response asset of the set of network response assets, a set of network response asset characteristics, wherein the set of network response asset characteristics comprises a network response asset location identification associated with the network response asset;
select a network response asset based at least in part on the dispatch mode, the set of request parameters, and at least one of the set of network response asset characteristics; and
transmit to the network response asset selected a portion of the request data object.
