How to design Driver Reaction model in IPG MotorcycleMaker for Simulink Co-Simulation

I have created a Test run in IPG Carmaker where the vehicle is about to hit a front vehicle. So, I have to design a Driver model in simulink considering the different driver parameters. I understood that I have to consider parameters such as Vehicle speed, distance between the front vehicle and driving vehicle,Brake and throttle position of the vehicle. Did i miss any of the parameters and how can I design the simulink model in relation to IPG Carmaker?. If anyone have some idea or inputs, please suggest. Thank you

I considerd the driver parameters such as Age, Gender, Alcohol intake and number of hours driver slept along with Velocity and distance between Motorbike and Car and I found some equations in some research papers in relation to driver reaction time.

BRT (Brake Reaction TIme) = 0.002*Age+0.035*Gender+0.001*V*3.6+0.017*d-2.4718*10^-7*Alc^3+2.9880*10^-5*Alc^2+0.0013*Alc-0.0016;

The above equation is not standard and is varying from one research paper to other.

The Velocity and distance between two vehicles is accessed with the Carmaker dictionaries in simulink whereas the Age, Gender,Alcohol intake and number of hours slept is inputted by user before running the simulation.

After calculating the driver reaction time by using above equation, I applied brakes to the motorbike once rider detects the obstacle in MotorcycleMaker from simulink co-simulation environment. This did what I want to achieve.
