braking torque calculation of motorcycle drum-shoe brake

Hi all, I am relatively new to Simulink. I am trying find a model or some help on how to create a model that displays the braking torque produced in each wheel, when applying force at braking lever of motorcycle.

Details: The lever force is given it's ramped from 0 to 200N. The leaver advantage for first lever is 4 for second it is 5.18 friction coefficient is 0.4. In summary total braking torque = 1.895 x (lever force) . Now I can't figure out how use simulink to simulate this data.

I want to use this data to simulate the braking system of a motorcycle. I have to find the stopping distance for the motorcycle at 60km/h, given the friction between road and tire is 0.9. Any ideas or suggestion on how to get there?

Thank you so much.

This example uses the Double Shoe Brake block to slow down a vehicle: Vehicle with Four-Speed Transmission

You could reparameterize it to match your motorcycle.
