Challenge

Build an Urban EV Corridor Congestion Agent with LangChain and LangGraph

Enterprise logistics and mobility companies like Nawgati are optimizing EV charging grids and corridor congestion. In this challenge, you will implement an urban EV fleet routing and charging station congestion manager using LangChain and LangGraph. The system will ingest real-time charging queue status, vehicle battery telemetry, and traffic grid bottlenecks to re-route EV fleets dynamically to optimal charging hubs while minimizing operational downtime.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

queue_time_minimization_test

Verifies that lower wait time high-speed station STN-02 is selected despite slightly greater distance.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

routing_efficiency

Minimization of total downtime (travel + wait + charge). • target: 0.92 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
