OW IT WORKS
TSC uses an advanced network of sensors to
monitor your trailer's speed, direction, lateral
motion, grip – up to 1,000 times a second. This
information is then sent to the Electronic Control
Unit (ECU) – the "brain" of the system – where
intelligent algorithms accurately determine what
kind of critical safety event (emergency braking,
sharp swerving,
experiencing. The ECU responds by sending
detailed instructions to each individual wheel to
apply the exact amount of brake force needed for
optimum stability and stopping distance. All of
this happens in the blink of an eye.

NTILOCK RAKING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) works by
continuously monitoring the rotational speed of
the trailer wheels during braking. When a wheel
is about to lock up, the ABS system intervenes by
rapidly modulating the brake force to that specific
wheel. This modulation prevents wheel lock-up
and maintains optimal braking effectiveness,
allowing the wheels to maintain traction with the
road surface. By preventing wheel lock-up, trailer
ABS enhances stability, control, and steering
responsiveness, ensuring
controlled braking manoeuvres.

RAILER WAY ITIGATION
Trailers and caravans can be susceptible to sway
which can be easily triggered by side forces from
high winds, rough roads or even a passing truck.
When this occurs, the trailer begins to sway from
side to side, building sway momentum with each
oscillation and can end in the trailer jack-knifing
or even rolling. Trailer Sway Mitigation intervenes
at the earliest stages of trailer sway, gradually
increasing the trailer braking level to match the
severity of the trailer oscillation with the aim to
settle the trailer sway as quickly as possible and
bring the trailer back to a steady condition. Trailer
Sway Mitigation will only activate above 65km/h
when critical events occur.

ANE HANGE
Lane Change Control activates when it detects a
sharp, sudden change in direction. This works
differently from TSM as there is no gradual build-
up of instability and there is usually a sudden,
corrective steering input from the driver. The
Lane Change Control algorithm identifies this
situation and uses intelligent braking patterns to
keep the vehicle combination as steady as
are
possible during the manoeuvre. Lane Change
Control will only activate above 65km/h when
critical events occur.

TSC uses wheel speed sensors to track exact
mileage. This means you can keep track of when
your vehicle needs maintenance.

IAGNOSTICS
TSC offers advanced diagnostics to inform the
driver the moment the TSC system detects an
issue or is not working optimally.
TSC even detects issues with the trailer brakes,
that would have gone undetected previously.
