Best practice for Bus Stop Brake, BSB

Description
To ensure that the vehicle has come to a complete stop before opening the doors, the
following logic is recommended concerning door opening terms.
The main purpose is to wait for confirmation that the chassis system has activated the bus
stop brake function.

Implementation
The bus bodybuilder needs to implement the logic, so when the driver requests door open,
the body system should request bus stop brake from the chassis.
When the chassis system has confirmed that the vehicle has come to a complete stop and
that the brake is applied, the body system can open the requested doors.
After closing the doors, the body system must release the bus stop brake request.

Safety release
If the chassis system cannot confirm the activation of the bus stop brake, the body system
needs to be able to open the doors without bus stop brake confirmation.
By applying a second term, the possibility to open the doors when parking brake is applied,
dead lock can be avoided.
