TIP: SysMLv1/UML: Cameo Simulation Toolkit: HOWTO convert an fUML ReadLine CLI String to a Boolean for cleaner DecisionNode tests against a LiteralBoolean [true] guard.

GOTCHA: UML/SysML: Cameo Simulation Toolkit 19SP3: A [true] or [false] guard on an ActivityEdge MUST be a LiteralBoolean, not just characters typed in, or the evaluation may give unexpected or ill-defined results

The edges coming out of the decision node indicate the probability of each branch being taken.

The decision node and guards determine if the brake pressure is greater than zero, and flow is directed to value specification actions that output an enabling or disabling control value from the activity.
