๐Ÿ† Best Use of Microsoft Foundry โ€” Microsoft AI Dev Days Hackathon ยท 2026

I am honored to share that TrafficIQ โ€” Supply Chain Transport Intelligence won the Best Use of Microsoft Foundry Project award at Microsoftโ€™s AI Dev Days Hackathon. The hackathon brought together a global community of 2,041 registrants and 401 submitted projects, with winners selected across two Grand Prize categories and four special category awards.

What TrafficIQ does

TrafficIQ is an enterprise-grade multi-agent AI platform built entirely on the Microsoft AI Platform. It brings real-time traffic intelligence into fleet, logistics and supply-chain workflows โ€” so dispatchers, drivers and operations leaders can make smarter routing and delivery decisions before disruptions hit the bottom line.

The Microsoft stack underneath

  • Azure AI Foundry โ€” model hosting, agent orchestration and evaluation
  • Microsoft Agent Framework โ€” multi-agent coordination and tool calling
  • Azure Maps โ€” routing, traffic incidents and geospatial intelligence
  • Azure IoT Hub โ€” fleet GPS telemetry and vehicle sensor streams
  • Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations โ€” orders, shipments and field service
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) โ€” standardised tool integration across agents
  • Dataverse, Power Apps & Power Automate โ€” the human-in-the-loop UI and workflow layer
TrafficIQ Multi-Agent Architecture
The TRAFI multi-agent architecture โ€” 6 specialist agents, 49 composable tools.

TRAFI โ€” the multi-agent core

At the heart of TrafficIQ is TRAFI, a multi-agent AI orchestration system with 6 specialist agents and 49 composable tools. The agents proactively monitor traffic incidents, optimise delivery routes, and reduce operational disruptions before they impact supply chains. Each agent owns a clear responsibility โ€” incident monitoring, route planning, ETA recalculation, fleet health, customer notifications, escalation โ€” and they coordinate through the Microsoft Agent Framework.

What the platform delivers

  • โœ… Real-time traffic awareness across the fleet
  • โœ… Intelligent route optimisation with live re-planning
  • โœ… Fleet GPS visibility and IoT telemetry
  • โœ… Predictive maintenance insights
  • โœ… Automated ETA updates to customers
  • โœ… Field service & inventory management
  • โœ… Enterprise notifications and operational dashboards
TrafficIQ Delivery Planner

TrafficIQ AI Chat Agent

Why this project

This project was focused on solving practical enterprise challenges using agentic-AI patterns and Microsoft technologies in a production-oriented architecture. Hackathon code often optimises for the demo. With TrafficIQ I tried to optimise for what would survive a 3-month production hardening cycle: typed contracts between agents, explicit human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and a Dataverse-backed operational model that an enterprise IT team could actually own.
