1. A controller for a vehicle having at least one sensor, the controller including a processor and being configured to:
receive sensor data from at least one sensor of the vehicle; and
process the sensor data to classify one or more moving targets external to the vehicle in dependence on a surface roughness coefficient, wherein the one or more moving targets includes a pedestrian, cyclist, or vehicle, wherein classification of the one or more moving targets as a pedestrian, cyclist, or vehicle is performed based on the surface roughness coefficient, and wherein the surface roughness coefficient is indicative of a roughness of a surface on which the vehicle is travelling.
