A method is provided for determining a mobility status of a target object located in an environment of a sensor configured to monitor a surrounding environment of a vehicle. According to the method, a detection angle of the target object is determined with respect to the sensor based on data acquired by the sensor, and an ideal beam vector for a stationary object is predicted based on the detection angle. The ideal beam vector and a measured beam vector obtained from the data acquired by the sensor are normalized, and a correlation of the normalized ideal beam vector and the normalized measured beam vector is determined. A score is determined based on the correlation of the normalized ideal and measured beam vectors and indicates whether the target object is stationary or moving.

A method for fusing a first occupancy map and a second occupancy map comprises: determining at least one fusion parameter representing a potential dissimilarity between the first occupancy map and the second occupancy map and determining a fused occupancy map representing free and occupied space around the vehicle. The fused occupancy map is determined based on the first occupancy map, the second occupancy map, and a fusion rule. The fusion rule is configured to control the influence of the first occupancy map and/or the second occupancy map on the fused occupancy map based on the at least one fusion parameter.
