1. A system for monitoring and predicting traffic conditions in a vicinity of a system vehicle, the system comprising:
at least one radar module programmed to detect at least one target vehicle traveling within a predetermined radar detection area, the radar module comprising at least a combination of hardware and software;
wherein the radar module is further programmed to:
detect a signal associated with a velocity of the target vehicle traveling through the radar detection area, and
communicate the detected velocity signal to an alarm module;
wherein the alarm module is programmed to:
receive the velocity signal communicated from the radar module,
calculate an alert condition trigger distance in response to the communicated velocity signal and at least one predetermined reaction time variable value,
communicate with at least a portion of a stop indicator system operatively associated with the system vehicle, and,
generate at least one alert event communication in response to the calculated alert condition trigger distance; and
wherein the radar detection area is divided into multiple zones including at least one mounting offset zone and at least one safety zone.
