VisLab was one of the partner of TerraMax team with Oshkosh Truck Corporation (Wisconsin, USA) , Teledyne (California, USA), IBEO (Germany), and Auburn University (Alamaba, USA).

2006, october 2, DARPA gave 1 million dollars as a grant to the research activities.

Only 11 vehicles, including TerraMax truck, were admitted to the final.

Unfortunately after a 90 minutes of good auotnomous driving, TerraMax vehicle suffered from a problem to a PC, and the team was forced to remove the vehicle from the course.

VisLab developed a complex vision system based on 11 cameras, capable of monitoring all around the truck, and composed by: * a trinocular system to detect far, medium distance and close obstacles, and to detect lines on the ground * two stereo system (one in the front and one in the back) to detect very close obstacles and lane markings * two lateral cameras to detect road crosses and lateral obstacles * two rear-watching cameras to detect obtacles and lanes.
