Brake controls are designed to apply the brakes of the towed vehicle (trailer). There are three types of brake controls on the market today timed, inertia, and proportional. Another type of braking system that is used for trailers is a breakaway kit.

Inertia Controls
Inertia based controls work very much like Timed based control in that they apply braking power at a preset rate during normal stopping conditions with one very important difference. Inertia controls have a patented "Automatic Over-Ride" system with a separate power supply for unexpected high speed stops.

Reese's smooth stopping Accutrac and Digitrac brake controls are excellent choices for your more demanding heavier loads and constantly changing load conditions (as in transportation of horses or livestock). These advanced controls are able to detect the difference between a gradual deceleration like slowing for a traffic light and the stopping power required when braking for an unexpected event. Their advanced electronics and patented Inertia Sensing System are designed for consistent and predictable stopping power.
